It's also possible that you may not have run sudo apt-get update. It worked for me.

Yess, if any one wants to have a look at ( installing virtualenv: a basis for the installation of ) django installation, please run this command when the shell opens up in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-easy_install virtualenv

and then run the commands to simply start the instructions followed on the following link(starting from the section "Setting up a new environment"): http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/1-serialization/

You need to add python before virtualenv because ubuntu package is python-virtualenv not virtualenv.

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

tar xvfz virtualenv-1.10.1.tar.gz
cd virtualenv-1.10.1
