This can be a pain on windows, because there is usually no compiler for setup to build the "binary" version of the adaptor. The easiest course of action is to find a binary for the version of python you are running. I haven't seen any for 2.7 yet but searching for "python msqldb windows binary" will expose some binaries for earlier versions. I usually work on mac, but for my windows box at work I reverted to an earlier version of python just to get mysql (and PIL) working
