A workaround is to install the python-dev package (as it is called on Ubuntu;
it might have other names in other OS packaging systems).

To stop users getting this error from following the quickstart instructions,
we need to upload binary eggs for all dependencies that require C/C++ code,
which includes Twisted.

(Fixing <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3586> would remove Twisted from
the set of dependencies for which this is necessary.)
