Ignacio,

You want the MySQL-python-0.9.1.win32-py2.2.exe, not 
MySQL-python-0.9.1.tar.gz. The first one is pre-compiled windows self 
extracting executable which works on Windows. The other is the source 
code, useful only if you are on Unix, Linux, BSD or if you have Visual C 
for Windows.

Regards,
Andy
