Method: 2

Step 1: Download and build Python
First Download Zip file from here  Python
Go to http://www.python.org/. In the "Quick links" section on the left-hand side of the page, "Source distribution" is a direct link to the tarball. Download it. Unzip the tarball, and from the root of the created directory (which will be called Python-2.7.2 or something similar, depending on the version): 
Open terminal  and put this command

./configure

make -j

You can now check that Python was correctly built by executing ./python and falling into its interactive terminal. If you want, you can also execute the Python test-suite with make test, though it may take a long time to run (~10 minutes on a relatively fast machine).

Step 2: Install

In the same directory, run:

sudo make install

This installs Python into /usr/local/bin. Depending on the configuration of your system, you may want to add symlinks to the newly created /usr/local/bin/python2.7 in /usr/bin/ as well.

That’s it, you now have Python 2.7 installed.

Now you can install Python mysqldb, follow above steps for python mysqldb.

or

Now extract it in C or any drive, then open the command prompt and go through directory where python zip file kept. just like as 
c: \>  cd c:\programfiles\python\
c: \programfiles\python> setup.py install
or 
c: /programfiles/python>python setup.py install
