[Zope] MySQL-Python problems on Win32

[FNk]

Let me guess ... Are you using Zope's built-in Python application ?
If you are, the fact that it's built-in means that it doesn't appear in the
windows registry. The installer checks for Python versions in the directory.

You have to install Zope and Python independently (this is the only way of
making python appear in the registry), then configure your start.bat file to
use the new Python installation. Then, when you'll run the
MySQL-Python-0.9.0.exe installer, then python version is going to appear in
your "Select python installation to use" box.

I hope this helps.

Fabien.
