This seems to happen for a lot of users. Can you try this and let us know if it works better after?

$ apt-get --reinstall install python-testtools

@Mattias, works fine after installing python-testtools. Thanks.

Ah now I see that it wasn't even installed. Not the same error that was caused by broken python-testtools then.
