OK. MSDOS box, a command_prompt.

No. the python27 in QGIS Lisboa is not the your python installation.
Try to look for another one. (I am using Mac OS X so I could not tell
where is installed in Windows).

A console or terminal is generic term for what people in MS World
called software give you access to command prompt.

You have python installation your system since you are able to use
QGIS python plugins.

Back to your problem.

Open the MSDOS command prompt in the directory where you see the setup.py

Then,

Type "python setup.py install"  in the console (MSDOS command prompt).

Be sure that you typed without quotes ("  ").

It will install this in your python sites-packages.

Search for the folder "sites-packages", you will find your python installation.
