So why not use Firebird ( http://firebirdsql.org/ ) or SAPDB (
http://sapdb.org/ ) ?  They both have Python interfaces:
- http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/ for Firebird
- the Python section of http://sapdb.org/sap_db_program.htm for SAPDB

There's no need to stoop to MySQL if you require Windows support.
