A quick reply :
    apt-get install python-mysqldb

(or just plain "apt-get install zope-mysqlda" and the deps will be
taken care of)


A not-so-quick reply :

What OS/distro are you using zope on?  (I know Outlook Express doesn't
run on Debian)  In any case you need to find the python bindings to
the mysql client libs and add them to your python installation.  If
you're using MS Windows you can use the ODBC stuff as long as you
install the mysql windows odbc driver and set up your data sources
accordingly.  I have no experience doing that, however, and wouldn't
trust windows for a server either.

HTH,
