To get a MySQL module, go to http://dustman.net/andy/python/MySQLdb/
and download the 0.2.1 release.  The readme included with the module 
will give you a brief description of its functions.  I haven't ever 
tried it on a windows box, but it works great for linux.

Probably best to look at http://www.vex.net/parnassus for most modules. 
They have a nifty tutorial section about lots of python related stuff.

One easy introduction can be found here:
