Quick Tutorial: Improve the setup instructions (adapted from Steve Piercy's work), particularly for Windows. Change all the steps to use $VENV/bin prefixes on commands (don't presume that they have done source env/bin/activate).

-Python Setup
-============
-
-.. note::
-
-    This tutorial is aimed at Python 3.3. It also works with
-    Python 2.7.
-
-First thing's first: we need our Python environment in ship-shape.
-Pyramid encourages standard Python development practices (virtual
-environments, packaging tools, logging, etc.) so let's get our working
-area in place. For Python 3.3:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-  $ pyvenv-3.3 venv
-  $ source env/bin/activate
-  (venv)$ wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python
-
-If ``wget`` complains with a certificate error, run it with:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-  $ wget --no-check-certificate
-
-In these steps above we first made a :term:`virtualenv` and then
-"activated"  it, which adjusted our path to look first in
-``venv/bin`` for commands (such as ``python``). We next downloaded
-Python's packaging support and installed it, giving us the
-``easy_install`` command-line script for adding new packages. Python
-2.7 users will need to use ``virtualenv`` instead of ``pyvenv`` to make
-their virtual environment.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Why ``easy_install`` and not ``pip``? Pyramid encourages use of
-   namespace packages which, until recently, ``pip`` didn't permit.
-   Also, Pyramid has some optional C extensions for performance. With
-   ``easy_install``, Windows users can get these extensions without
-   needing a C compiler.
-
-.. seealso:: See Also: Python 3's :mod:`venv module <python3:venv>`,
-   the ``setuptools`` `installation
-   instructions <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.9.8#installation-instructions>`_,
-   `easy_install help <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.9.8#using-setuptools-and-easyinstall>`_,
