I had a similar problem after I installed the autobuild package system-wide 
with the setup.py that came with it (./setup.py build && sudo ./setup.py 
install). It turns out it does not work when installed system wide. As far as 
I could tell, the python version in the pre-packaged files' path don't matter.

Also, it seems prone to leaving bad files /var/tmp/$USER/install.cache/ when 
bailing due to exceptions, and barfing when encountering those files on 
subsequent runs.
