Dear Chris Angelico,
Yes, you are right, I did install Python 3.4 as well as 2.7. I have removed
Python 3.4, and input the code you suggested and it looks like it has installed
properly, returning the following code:-

Would that things were as straightforward as they are in the books, but anyway
thank you much for your assistance, I'd still be typing the zillionth variation
on the first line without your help. I don't doubt though that I will be coming
unstuck in the not distant future. Until then, again thank you for your
selfless help.
You didn't need to remove Python 3.4.
When you typed:
python setup.py install
it defaulted to Python 3.4, presumably because that was the last one
you installed.
You just needed to be explicit instead:
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
