Answer 1

You can't double click the setup.py file.
First you change current dir to place which the setup.py file.
Second use command setup.py install.

You do about all, that's ok.

e.g: 

C:\Windows\System32>F:

F:\>cd F:\Downloads\pyclips-1.0.7.348\pyclips

F:\Downloads\pyclips-1.0.7.348\pyclips>setup.py install

Answer 2

After the CLIPSSrc package is built, follow Mark's answer.

If on running 'import clips' in a subsequent python prompt still throws the same error that means either the clips module failed to build or the clips module is not in the python path.

You can put the clips module in in the python path by:

import sys
sys.path.append('C:\PATH\TO\clips\module\clips') # Whatever path the clips module is

Now, 'import clips' should work.

PYTHONPATH="/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/clips/"
export PYTHONPATH
