It's because your extraction program is weird. Gzip is a compression
algorithm that operates on a single file. Tar is an archive format
that combines multiple files into a single file. When we say "extract
the .tar.gz", what we mean is both uncompress the tar file and then
extract everything out of that. A lot of programs will do that in one
step. If you look inside the tar file, you should find the setup.py.
