That is really not a *G*raphical User Interface, but the (text-based) Python 
shell.

  "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it." – "Don't move it, then."

The Python shell executes Python code.  The above obviously is not Python 
code, but *system* shell commands.  So let the *system* command shell 
execute them (as indicated by the `$' prompt, which is customary for a
sh-based UNIX/Linux shell prompt).  

Since you use Windows XP, type `cmd' to get the command shell (if you knew 
MS-DOS, which I doubt, you are at home now).  However, you appear to have 
found the *UNIX/Linux* README (and the corresponding version?) of that 
server: the second command is usually how you would run a program as daemon 
on Unices (run through an init script), while on Windows NT (like XP) you 
would have a setup program install a service for you (maybe to execute that 
command when the service is started).  Look for the Windows version.

> But where do I place the two directories?

You do not; let easy_install place them in the correct packages directory 
(hence *easy* *install*).  That is very likely what the setup.py and 
ez_setup.py scripts are for (spell "ez" in English).

RTFM.

Look for the Windows version.  If there is none, get easy_install and use it 
as described.
