And I never, ever do any sort of development on Windows, so consequently I
can't support it or even tell you how to install ZMySQLDA on Windows, save
to install it in your Zope home directory, whatever that corresponds to on
Windows. But if you know how to do that, then you are almost done. You
still need MySQLdb, and there is a third-party Windows installer for that.
I have no idea whether or not the Windows Zope binary package can find it
or not, since if it's anything like the standard UNIX installation, it
will go into the system-wide Python installation and not Zope's built-in
Python installation.
