How did you install MySQL-python-0.9.2?  It must be compiled with the
version of Python you're running Zope under and must be in a lib directory
where that Python can find it.

On RH9, I'm using the source version of Zope, the binary RPMs for Python
2.1.3 (available at python.org -- installed happily along side the Python
that comes with RH9), and I built the MySQL-python RPMs from the tarball
with something like this:

  # python2.1 setup.py bdist_rpm --python=python2.1

This will build with python2.1 and the RPM will install under
/usr/lib/python2.1.

I've never used the binary version of Zope, so I don't really know where
things need to go if you're going to use that.

It's still easy... if you know what to do. ;-)
