You don’t need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the Stripe Python bindings, you should run:

sudo pip install --index-url https://code.stripe.com --upgrade stripe

or

sudo easy_install --index-url https://code.stripe.com --upgrade stripe

(See www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html for instructions on installing pip. If you are on a system with easy_install but not pip, you can use easy_install instead.)

To install from source, run:

python setup.py install
