database connection

[David Metzler]

I would like to create some py programs that connect to a database like
mysql or postgres on either win 98 or Linux.
I could not find the file to include. The python.org directions talk about
compiling but I do not have MS C.
Is there a mysqldb available to install in Win 98 without compiling.
How about a rpm or binary for RH 6.0

If not for mysql perhaps another database?
