I would say that though it's only supported up to 2.5, you should still be fine with it on 2.6. I've been using mysqldb 1.2.2 with python 2.6 on my ubuntu workstation for a while without any problems.

I am using Windows Vista. I am bogged down because I can't even start the installation because as soon as it sees that I don't have Python2.6 it stops the installation.
is there anyway I can bypass this?
maybe manually installing it? how?

Does it give you an error of some sort when it fails to install? I admit, I'm just using the Ubuntu package for 1.2.2 here, but I'll try and download the source for the latest and install that.
OOPS: I just noticed that that is a linux egg...sorry
I also just noticed this from the README file in the source distribution:
Code:
I don't do Windows. However if someone provides me with a package for
Windows, I'll make it available. Don't ask me for help with Windows
because I can't help you.
Generally, though, running setup.py is similar to above::
C:\...> python setup.py install
C:\...> python setup.py bdist_wininst
The latter example should build a Windows installer package, if you
have the correct tools. In any event, you *must* have a C compiler.
Additionally, you have to set an environment variable (mysqlroot)
which is the path to your MySQL installation. In theory, it would be
possible to get this information out of the registry, but like I said,
I don't do Windows, but I'll accept a patch that does this.
On Windows, you will definitely have to edit site.cfg since there is
no mysql_config in the MySQL package.
Not sure if you are going to be able to use this through a standard windows install. I'm not a windows user either so I won't be a whole lot of help here after all. You could always try using this through cygwin...

the version for python 2.6 needs a c++ compiler to run, which is why it works fine on ubuntu.
there is a different module specifically for windows. i think it got working, but trying to get python and mysql to work together made me replace windows with linux

That's pretty much it. There are no official windows binaries for Python 2.6, which is quite sad, given the popularity of MySQL. In any case, that's what you get (the exact link too).
