Hello there
I have no knowledge on python.
But regarding MySQL, you may use CentOS its good.
Install MySQL and configure it to run on startup. MySQL does not need Apache
phpMyAdmin requires 'Php' and 'apache' (or any other web server- Apache is the best)to run
Distribution: Xubuntu 12.04, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu Server 12.04

I don't know CentOS in detail, but usually they will when installed through the distro's mechanisms.

This is normally not necessary on the system level. However, you should add a MySQL user for your application that has limited access, i.e. permission only to the application's database and only INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/whatever you need, no CREATE or ALTER permissions.
Normally as I have seen, Apache wont be enabled to start on boot in Cent OS. You need to enable it using chkconfig. MySQL is good, but I have seen PostgreSQL to perform very nicely. You may want to look into it. PHP is easier to learn if you know C/C++. I have no idea about Python. But if you are looking at building a web application PHP is a good choice. PHP and apache work together very well. Apache, PHP and MySQL is I suppose most preferred combination for web applications.
