Installing gdata on Ubuntu 9.04.

Don’t forget that by default, most python module install themselves in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/. But the default install of python2.6 on Ubuntu 9.04 doesn’t look there. Ugh. So, instead of installing with python setup.py install use python setup.py install –install-layout=deb and the module will install itself in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and then python will be able to find it.
