Thank you. This sort of transcript does make it very easy to see

Command line syntax is always to put a command first (one word), and
then its arguments (zero, one, or more words). You put quotes around a
logical word when it has spaces in it. So, for instance, "foo bar" is
one logical word. In this case, you omitted the space between the
command and its argument, so Windows couldn't handle it. [1]

> C:\Users\Intel Atom>cd "c:\Beautiful Soup"

And this is correct; you put quotes around the argument, and execute
the "cd" command with an argument of "c:\Beautiful Soup". It then
works, as is shown by the change of prompt in your subsequent lines.

This indicates that you've installed a 3.x version of Python as the
default, and setup.py is expecting a 2.x Python. Do you have multiple
Pythons installed? Try typing this:

c:\Python27\python setup.py install

(That will work only if you have Python 2.7 installed into the default
location.)

Hope that helps!

[1] Windows lets you be a bit sloppy; for instance, cd\ works without
a space between the command and the argument. (AFAIK this is true if
and only if the path name starts with a backslash.) But normally, you
separate command and argument(s) with a space.
