Unable to extract Python source code using Windows

[Elric02 at rogers.com]

I'm currently trying to get access to the Python source code, however
whenever I try to extract the files using the latest version of WinZip
(version 10) I get the following error "error reading header after
processing 0 entries"
I was under the impression that I could (from reading the various posts
on this group) that I could simply extract the tar ball, using WinZip.
If this is not the case does anybody know how I can actually get source
code on Windows platform.  I don't have access to a UNIX box so that's
not an option for me
thanks in advance for any help you can provide
