Unable to install CherryPy

I know this is a very dumb question, but I can't install CherryPy. In the documentation is written:

To install, change to the directory where setup.py is located and type (python-2.3 or later needed):

python setup.py install

Which is what I do, I type this in Python Shell and it gives me error Invalid syntax, but I don't think I have any syntax errors.

If you are installing on Mac and say you are using python 3, you would want to use:

sudo python3.3 setup.py build

Then after build is finished.

sudo python3.3 setup.py install

You won't install programs in the Python shell. Navigate to where you downloaded the source and run python setup.py install.

Alternatively, you can use pip:

pip install cherrypy

"I type this in Python Shell"...

Don't type that in the Python shell. 

>>> python setup.py install
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    python setup.py install
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Type it at the commandline.

$ python setup.py install

Or if you're on Windows:

C:\>python setup.py install
