The error message is telling you that the file setup.py that you're
trying to run is missing.  That would seem to indicate that Beautiful
Soup hasn't been downloaded or unzipped correctly.  What do you have
in the Beautiful Soup directory?

Also, use Python 3.4 as Terry Reedy suggested, unless the book is
using 2.7 in which case you should probably use the same version as
the book.
