 Review comment:
   There's a section on the page that tells the user what to do next for the Python bindings. Lead them to that!
   https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/windows_setup.html#install-mxnet-for-python
   Also, I see that the anchor was changed so that the Table of Contents link to the Python section is broken (likely my fault). Please update that since you're already updating this file. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blame/master/docs/install/windows_setup.md#L13
