I'm having a lot of trouble installing xlrd 0.9.2 for python

Can someone give me a guide for morons? I am somewhat out of my depth here. So far I have downloaded xlrd 0.9.2 and tried to follow the readme, but neither I nor ctrl-f can find the installer mentioned.

download

The current version of xlrd can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd

extract the folder somewhere

go to the folder you extracted to ... find setup.py

open command window (start -> run-> cmd)

cd into the directory with setup.py

type: python setup.py install

you may need setup tools (which can be gotten here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions)
