I think you have a wrong version of syck and/or pysck.  The 
"correct" versions are syck 0.55 and pysck 0.55.1.  Others may 
also work, of course.  I ran into this and ended up manually 
downloading and building each of the versions listed towards the 
end of:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonWebsitePyramidDocs

BTW, in case you're really ambitious and would like to help, we 
do want to make the toolchain easier to install and use.  We're 
probably heading towards abandoning Pyramid and instead either 
crafting a simpler custom solution based on rest2web or changing 
to something like Turbogears or Django or... something.

Of course that's down the road ... it's best to get started by 
fixing some of the higher priority items in the bug tracker.
