Hi Peter, you can use a different compiler if you have one, such as mingw32, but I find compiling extensions on Windows is very problematic.
Any particular features of MySQLdb 1.2.1 you need? 1.2.0 has a Windows version precompiled - http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mysql-python/MySQL-python.exe-1.2.0.win32-py2.4.zip?download If you really need to compile it, grab mingw32 and use the --compiler option for setup.py i.e. setup.py build --compiler mingw32, but I've had heaps of trouble with including Python headers, so YMMV.
