That's not a fair comparison.
For Python We don't link to platform-specific binaries, we direct users to
the python.org web site and there they can find '''official''' binaries
of Python.
We don't have any section in our docs where we point to any Apache
download, much less to a third-party binary installer so I don't know what
do you mean.
Unfortunately we can't replace the authors and/or communities behind MySQL
and MySQLdb, if they can't provide official Windows binaries and provide
links to them from their Web sites plus the accompanying documentation
there is nothing we can do about that.
I'm closing this ticket.
