3.x is not backward compatible so unless your package has been ported
to 3.x, there is a strong chance that it won't work. When they say 2.4
and above, they probably mean 2.x where x>4.

Can't help you here since I don't have XP handy but I recollect that
the easy_install and other such scripts had a .exe extension. Also, if
you name your files with a .py, the installer takes care of the
necessary registry entries to automatically run them with a double
click.
