    Yes, see

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1571110&forum_id=70461

for an untested version created by a World of Warcraft guild:

http://www.guildmanus.com/uploaded/MySQL-python.exe-1.2.2b2.win32-py2.5.exe

This, apparently, is the extent of current Python support for MySQL.
Want to install that executable, as root, on your production machines?

This is embarassing for the Python community.  Perl and PHP come
with MySQL support built in.  Python is out to lunch on this.
