I would like to use easy_install, but can't figure out how to install it.

I have 64-bit Python 2.7.5 on Windows 7.  

Following the instructions on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, it says:
Download ez_setup.py and run it; it will download the appropriate .egg file and install it for you. (Currently, the provided .exe installer does not support 64-bit versions of Python for Windows, due to a distutils installer compatibility issue

Being new to Python, I don't know what it means to "run it".  I am not sure what I am looking at when I open it as the first line is "#!python".

Looking down into the content of ez_setup.py, I find:
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.6.egg':
but there is no entry
'setuptools-0.6c10-py2.7.egg':

Searching for it, I found a version at:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/

This appeared to be a linux version, the first line is:
#!/bin/sh
and the content seems to be encoded.

There is an exe at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools, but the 
instructions on the page state the .exe won't work for 64-bit installs.
