on Windows? Did you download the source or the Python egg? – Jason Coon Feb 03 '10 at 14:21

check this answer first... sounds like you just need the basics of installing a Python package: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1471994/what-is-setup-py – Jason Coon Feb 03 '10 at 14:32

The general approach to installing Python packages is to use easy_install, or pip; the choice between the two tends to get political, so I will just say I use pip. pip plays well with virtualenv, which is a tool that makes it much nicer to explore arbitrary Python packages.
In your case, (assuming you have installed virtualenv and pip) I would probably do something like the following (assumes Unix-like environment; there should be a Windows equivalent, but I'm not current on what it might be):
virtualenv iu-sandboxpip install -E iu-sandbox ImageUtilscd iu-sandboxsource bin/activate- Open the REPL and start exploring
