The zip file with for a specific python version is in fact an egg file, i.e. a precompiled version which you can simply drop into the plugins folder of your trac setup. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/TracBzr#per-environment-using-plugin-egg-file and http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPlugins for further reference.

If you expect a setup.py file, this suggests that you intend to build and install the plugin from source. In that case you should obtain the source code version of the distribution, which is a gzip-compressed tar file and independent of the python version in use. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/TracBzr#building-from-source for details about this.
