  A couple things.  Psyco is not the Python compiler.  It's a Python JIT
compiler, which is a special thing, and which you probably don't need.  The
Python compiler comes with the standard Python install and is invoked
transparently for you when necessary.  Second, you don't run this command in
the Python interpreter, you run it in a shell.  It is a command that invokes
the Python interpreter, causes it to run the code in 'setup.py', passing
'install' as the only command line argument.
