datakid is correct, and the bug he/she references fixes the problem.
The root fault:

* buildout uses python modules from /usr/share/pyshared
* In 8.10, for some reason, /usr/share/pyshared/GMenuSimpleEditor does not 
exist so the softlinks fail.

As the referenced bug report states, a complete module exists in
/usr/share/python-support/python-gmenu/GMenuSImpleEditor so link it into
the pyshared area area

sudo ln -s /usr/share/python-support/python-gmenu/GMenuSimpleEditor/
/usr/share/pyshared/

buildout runs to completion after that.

On my system this seems to be an issue with 8.10 (Ibex) Ubuntu python
installation changes OR with some dead soft links after 8.04->8.10
upgrade (which is more likely).

I think another solution would be to reinstall python 2.4.
