Has anyone gone through the horror of doing things like installing python or mysql on a windows machine?

Has anyone gone through the horror of doing things like installing python or mysql on a windows machine? Maybe it's easier nowadays, but last time I tried installing python I had to follow multiple tutorials, one of which actually worked. Installing mysql was a little more pain-free, but still too much work. Also the lack of a linux/unix/whatever shell in windows? There's no way to measure the infinite utility in having a shell at your fingertips on a mac. I use the shell everyday, not sure how anybody could get on without one.
