AFAIK, MySQLdb uses distutils just like mxODBC does, so there must
be some other problem...

Please run Python in verbose mode and check where the import
of mx.ODBC.Windows fails:

python -vv
>>> import mx.ODBC.Windows

Just to make sure:
You did install egenix-mx-base *before* installing 
egenix-mx-commercial (the base package includes mxDateTime which is
needed by the commercial one).
