I'm not sure the problem here is a "custom build" but rather think
that you need MySQLdb built for Python 2.0. Compiled python modules
are not usable across python versions like 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 (although
something built for 2.2.2 should work with 2.2.1 or 2.2.3 though).

Did you try: MySQL-python-0.9.1.win32-py2.0.exe ? I can't see a
Python 2.0 binary of 0.9.2 for Win32. Note that the "py2.0" part
is essential.

Can you verify that a version of MySQL-python which is usable from a
plain Python 2.0 installation fails like above in your system?
