OK. I saw that my own version was (1, 0, 0, 'final', 1), so I assumed 
Andy's updated the package somewhat. However, downloading the source of 
1.2 I see that _mysql.c still appears, and that the package's 
__init__.py still includes the line

include _mysql

My C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages directory does contain a _mylsql.pyd 
file. Would you like to check that we are talking about the same module?
