    What is the correct process of installing any external python module?

    Q1) Where this module should be placed in python installation file
    structure?
    If it is a single Python module, you can put it anywhere in the Python
    path. A good place may be the site-packages subdirectory. Execute this
    line to see the list of directories that are currently searched for
    modules:

    python -c "import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.p ath)"

    More complex packages (containing many modules and its own internal
    hierarchy) usually provide a setup.py script
    Q2) How to execute setup.py file?
    Like any other script. For many Python packages, you only have to execute
    this:

    cd path/to/the/downloaded/and/uncompressed/package
    python setup.py install

    Please read the package documentation for any specific instructions. There
    is a generic guide aimed at site administrators: "Installing Python
    Modules" <http://docs.python.org/inst/>
