I use Ubuntu 10.10 and by default "aptitude" is not installed, so either the
following line should be changed or one should explain how to install
"aptitude".

sudo aptitude install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools python-virtualenv

Remarks by Alessandro Molina to my post on the ML:
It was recommended by debian to use aptitude instead of apt-get while
ubuntu has removed it in 10.10.
So we have to consider if it is the case to always to install aptitude
or always fallback to apt-get or even have different installation
instruction for ubuntu and debian.
