Or alternatively, download one of the the ODE binaries. That's what's 
used in the official PyODE Windows binaries. :)

The Python installer doesn't modify the PATH variable, so you have to do 
that yourself (I recommend to add both paths, the Python root and the 
Scripts directory). Then the above shouldn't be necessary anymore.
You might also want to add the .py suffix to the PATHEXT environment 
variable so that you can invoke Python scripts without the .py extension.
