Info: we could not tell whether your OS is limited to having very view half open connections because we couldn't interpret the platform version. Don't worry; we'll assume that it is not limited.

PyBitmessage requires PyQt unless you want to run it as a daemon and interact with it using the API. You can download PyQt from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download or by searching Google for 'PyQt Download'. If you want to run in daemon mode, see https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Daemon
You can also run PyBitmessage with the new curses interface by providing '-c' as a commandline argument.

I'm not sure how I can investigate the above error messages further, but I'm bound to try.
You need to install PyQt4 if you want to use the GUI. It actually tells you that in the last line. On Ubuntu 14.04, you do, as root:
apt-get install python-qt4
Also, you're checking out the official Bitmessage repo rather than this fork.
// , Even with these libraries installed, and using the correct fork, this does not work properly.

I had already had PyQt4 installed.
As for using the mailchuck repository, I have updated the installation instructions in #198 for absent-minded people like me.
You may have two different python versions installed. Ubuntu 14.04 comes with python 2.7.6 rather than 2.7.10. Try specifying the full path, /usr/bin/python or /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python2.7
