On your Windows plaf. you could start by installing ActivePython
from ActiveState website....
It comes with SQLlite (Python2.6's default packaging)... and should
be good enough to get you going for some basic DB apps.
You could download/install Django as well... for some web-framework
development.
However if you insist on mysql and CGI based programming, you could
download the MySQL windows installer and install it, and the Python
bindings for Mysql.
These are advice from a non-practising ex-programmer :) so details
might be a bit fuzzy.

What things will I need to get my self going for displaying a
simple webpage using Python based database access (say MySql)?
Could somebody list the things (softwares) required? point me to a
good web development tutorial...
Would like to start with simple CGI and then go on to Web 2.0 kind
of path...
From a practicing web-programmer -- the better way to start web
programming today is web.py http://webpy.org
Its close enough to CGI in the sense that you don't have to
understand frameworks, MVC, MTV (as in Django), at the same
time you don't have to reinvent the wheel for db handling,
templating, handling requests, sessions etc.
Once you grok "web programming", look around. The choices are
endless.. After all we are pythonistas.
we don't have religions masquerading as web frameworks.
Saying Hello world in web.py is as simple as:
-------------------
import web
urls = (
'/(.*)', 'hello'
)
class hello:
def GET(self):
print 'Hello world!'
if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls, globals())
