I am sorry it was my fault I did not say that clearly.
I do not have a problem to install MySQL server but I do not know how
to install MySQLdb module on my windowsXP so that I can work with
MySQL server via Python 2.3.
Thanks for help

Try this installer, if you want a newer version you will need to compile
it yourself.

Thank you I will try. As far as I understand I can install the latest
MySQL server and then MySQLdb module on my windowsXP with the
installer( the link you provided above).
Is it so?

Thats correct.

Sorry about the mis-read. Keep in mind that if you're doing this on
win32 (and it looks like you are), you can use ODBC a bit easier. :)

For those of you who care, the latest stable version of MySQLdb is
1.2.0. Currently there is not a WIndows installer, however. I do not
have the toolchain to build it, either; I depend on people to donate
installers. If you have Python from the python.org packages and MySQL
from the mysql.com packages on Windows, and you have the necessary
compiler to build MySQLdb, please consider running:

python setup.py bdist_wininst

to build an installer and letting me know via the SourceForge contact
page:

https://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=71372

I'm sure you'll make some poor Windows users very happy. I'll accept
packages for any combination of MySQLdb-{1.0.1,1.2.0}, MySQL-{4.0,4.1},
Python-{2.1,2.2,2.3,2, 4} (though I think Python<2.3 is a bit moldy, and
it not guaranteed to work with MySQLdb-1.2.0). Please remember, your
package must work with the standard packages.

There's a Windows package for MySQL-4.1.9 and Python-2.4 on SourceForge
now, thanks to Michal Zylinski.
