Did you install it? 

Assuming UNIX(-like):

I highly, *highly* recommend you use a virtualenv [1] and, if you want
a fancy UI, virtualenvwrapper [2]. From there you can install all the
packages you want with pip, without having to worry about mucking up
the system, versions of things, etc.

Assuming Windows:

Good luck!
