To install, just run:

# python setup.py install

On debian (and maybe others), you need to have the python-dev package installed.

You can also install the module to another place like this:

# python setup.py install --prefix /somewhere/else

But note that either your Python will need to be compiled to look for modules
in /somewhere/else/lib/python2.x/site-packages, or you will need to put this
path in your $PYTHONPATH environment variable.

For documentation, look in the source, or import the module and look at the
docstrings, they exist for most of the classes/functions, and probably for all
of the ones that you will actually use.  Look at the module's docstring for a
very tiny example.
