well I have managed to build both extant versions (MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 &
MySQL-python-1.2.2b2) from source with the aid of Mr Dustman's comments in the
site.cfg files and a very minor hack to the earlier version. I had to have the
sources for Mysql available as well, but that probably comes with the territory.
It seems the very latest version won't play well with earlier MySQL so I used
MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 as we are still using some 4.0.27 databases.
Given that I used a particular version of MySQL, 5.0.33, to build against I'm
not certain that my builds are useful for everyone. I copy here the differences
I had to make to the source to get stuff to build and run against stock win32
