A:
I guess, you don't have visual c++ compiler installed or compiler not in the PATH.
If you have mingw32, you can pass paramter -c mingw32
And mysql-python is available as binary in windows, you may not need to compile yourself.
UPDATE: OP is using python 2.6, no binaries for 1.2.3 in mysql-python page for windows.
Here is the one I have compiled before

Yes, MySQL-python core is written in C, also need MySQL header files, so you need some compiler but I think its hard to do that if you are not sure about compiling yourself, what is your python version and you want mysql-python 0.9.2 only? why not 1.2.2 or 1.2.3? Anyway, If you could provide that info I can suggest better.
