I have the same problem. Plain install of Ubuntu 10.04 server 32 bit.

apt-get install python-software-properties
OK

apt-add-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
...

Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 99, 
in run
    self.add_ppa_signing_key(self.ppa_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 132,

    tmp_keyring_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()

    name = names.next()

    letters = [choose(c) for dummy in "123456"]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 274, in choice
    return seq[int(self.random() * len(seq))]  # raises IndexError if seq is 
empty
ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer


The file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zfs-native-stable-precise.list is there then, 
but I think keys are not setup correctly, I got signing alerts when installing 
software from that ppa.
