Anyone have directions for the last step in Python installation for windows 32bit:

I downloaded the python-2.5.4.msi and python-2.5.4.zip, but unable to open the Python application per confusion regarding the last step. any direction on:

"Change to the Python-2.5.4 directory and run the "./configure", "make", "make install" commands to compile and install Python."

You do not need source code versions to run things in windows. So don't worry about config and make. The MSI should have made sub menus and so on for you. If the 2.5.4 does not work the way you need, the 2.7.8 is similar enough to do the things the class asks for. The MSI for it has work for me on XP, 7, and 8.1. https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.8/
