For Windows (including XP, Vista, 7, and 8), Python comes as a 
self-installer MSI
program file—simply double-click on its file icon, and answer Yes or 
Next at every
prompt to perform a default install. The default install includes 
Python’s docu-
mentation set and support for tkinter (Tkinter in Python 2.X) GUIs, 
shelve data-
bases, and the IDLE development GUI. Python 3.3 and 2.7 are normally 
installed
in the directories C:\Python33 and C:\Python27 though this can be changed at
install time.
