Thank you for your help. I did download the MinGW compiler. When I try a build with it I get:

running build_ext building '_mysql' extension creating build\temp.win32-2.5 creating build\temp.win32-2.5\Release gcc -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -ID:/mysql/include -ID:\Python\include -ID:\Pytho n\PC -c _mysql.c -o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release_mysql.o /Dversion_info=(1,2,2, 'beta',2) /D__version__=1.2.2b2 error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory

The gcc.exe file does exist in the MinGW\bin folder. Any ideas?

You need to have that bin directory on your PATH when running setup scripts.
