Looking for help on installing a numpy extension

I found a numpy extension on github that would be really helpful for a program I'm currently writting, however I don't know how to install it.

Here's the link to the extension: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=py_find_1st&:action=display

I'm using windows 10 which might be the reason why the installer provided doesn't work, I found a file looking like a numpy extension as described here: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.10.0/user/c-info.how-to-extend.html

But there's no mention on this page of where to put the code of the numpy extension, and I didn't manage to find any explanations online.

Would anyone have an idea on how to install this?

To build any extension modules for Python, you’ll need a C compiler. Various NumPy modules use FORTRAN 77 libraries, so you’ll also need a FORTRAN 77 compiler installed.

However, if you just want to install the tar.gz file that they have on the website, follow these steps:

  1. Open cmd (Command Prompt)
  2. Write set path=%path%;C:\Python27\
  3. Extract the tar.gz file (use a program like PeaZip)
  4. Change directories within the command line (if you are confused on how to do this look here for reference)
  5. Get to your files' directory (something like cd c:\Users\pdxNat\Downloads\py_find_1st1.0.6)
  6. Run python setup.py install
