installing_setuptools
Download the windows installer and read the installation instructions for windows here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installing-and-using-setuptools. There are also packages and instructions for linux users on pypi.
On Linux you can also issue these two commands:
<note shell>wget %%http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py%%\\
sudo python ez_setup.py
</note>
Which will result in these two screens.
