I'm pretty sure binaries of this are available:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mysql-python/MySQL-python-0.9.2.win32-py2.1.exe?download

There's also newer versions of both mysql-python and MySQLDA on the sourceforge 
site.

BTW, Installing Zope on Windows will usually use it's own python that comes 
shipping with it.

with 2.5.1, that's Python 2.1.3.

Now, you need to put the MySQL libs (notable _mysql.dll) in your Zope install's 
lib\python folder.

Good luck,

Chris

PS: Why are you using MySQL anyway? what's wrong with ZODB?
