Today, I finally decided that I needed to switch from Windows. I have been struggling over the past couple of days with commands like pip or even just running a python program from command line. I tried this several times, with both versions 2.7 and 3.4 of python.

Still no luck.
The reason I am using Windows is that I am on my brother's laptop, and he partitioned most of the memory for Windows. However, there is enough memory on mac for me to work, and it is so much easier. I initially had a problem with the mac mouse not doing what I wanted, as for some reason it was able to get signal from the completely broken trackpad. I was then able to download BeautifulSoup for parsing with python, and then I continued my NodeJS tutorial.

Unfortunately I had done it before on Windows so my progress was not remembered, but I began to understand the concept of modules more thoroughly. I would highly recommend nodeschool and look forward to putting what I have learned to use.
How far did you get on NodeSchool? When you say you "began to understand the concept of modules more thoroughly", what is it specifically about modules that you understand?
