I can confirm this same bug on Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 2 ways
- apt-get install python-guppy
- (virtualenv) pip install guppy

same error either way

This looks like a duplicate of #3047282 which was closed in 2010 but hasn't made it into a PyPI release. Installing from SVN trunk will avoid the problem but there really needs to be a new release.
