You do have a setup.py in there, but your Windows explorer is showing
it to you without the .py extension.  Something unusual is happening
with the download/extraction process though and you're missing the
correct folder structure.  If you take a look here, you can see what
you *should* have after unzipping:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~leonardr/beautifulsoup/bs4/files

This approach seems to be unproductive though, so I'm going to second
Mark's suggestion to just use pip:

1) Go to pip-installer.org and download the single file get-pip.py
2) Open a command prompt and cd to the folder you downloaded that file into.
3) python get-pip.py
4) pip install beautifulsoup4

And then you should finally be ready to get started.  Good luck!
