There is an interface to R from Python too.
So you can combine the two..

However, given your stated aims SQL does look like the most natural 
choice and is worth learning, it's really not that hard, especially if 
performance is not critical. But if you want to really crunch the data 
rather than just mine it then R or numpy might be better suited.

BTW There are graphical GUI front tends to SQLite that hide the SQL from 
you so if you managed to get the data into SQLite you could use those to 
get it out again... Try a Google search.
