Mike, Glad it worked for you. Although the Ubuntu team does a fine job of package management I'm still a bit hesitant to use their python packages. It's easy enough using vanilla python to get everything you need going. In the future you can do the following just as easily.
`wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py` `sudo python ez_setup.py` `sudo easy_install pip virtualenv virtualenvwrapper` Then continue on your way using virtual environments and pip.
