Here are the steps I followed.
   6.   Type "sudo python setup.py install" in the unpacked directory from step 2.
***In the terminal type CD space (drag the folder here and it will auto populate the path) return.
***Your now in that directory.
Yeah, I did all that.
But step 6 failed

I ran "sudo python setup.py install" again and I get:
"Error: The required version of setuptools (>=2.1) is not available"
So I sudo installed a new version of setup tools.
Then ran "sudo python setup.py install" again and I get:
"Error: Installed distribution zope.interface 3.8.0 conflicts with requirement zope.interface>=4.0.2"

As much as I love python the update mechanisms are killing it, ruby does a much better job updating it's libraries.

Tried on three other Macs, all running current release 10.9.2. One failed with the above error, the other two failed with yet different error messages. What a mess.

So I think: "If someone wrote the instructions why didn't they provide the result for download?" I guess because the dependencies in Python are just to much of a mess to insure functionality on any given system. Good thing they don't build bridges with the same care we build software.
