Those are great instructions, could you please upload them somewhere more permanent. I'm not sure where will be the best but they could start at the TG docs, or maybe virtualenv.
The real problem here is what your system's package mysqldb won't work with the venv, and the egg version up on pypi will not work either. Ideally I think someone should try to make a universal egg but I think mysqldb needs to know several per system instalation paths (the config file you needed) which may make it impossible to work with. A shorter workaround (which I have used for quite some time) is to not use the --no-site-packages flag and simply use the mysqldb from ubuntu.
