I was having problems running setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh on Ubuntu 11.10 primary because of uwsgi install instructions.
I have edited the script which is working now and attached to this message for anyone who runs into the same problem.

The problem:

On new version of debian based distros, uwsgi changed the location of files from uwsgi-python to uwsgi also the package name has changed.

Solution (proposed by Bruce Wade)

Download the script: 

/download/plugin_ckeditor_upload.upload.92b2caf9235516da.73657475702d7765623270792d6e67696e782d75777367692d7562756e74752e7368.sh

The script:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh'
echo 'Requires Ubuntu 11.10 and installs Nginx + uWSGI + Web2py'

# Get Web2py Admin Password
echo -e "Web2py Admin Password: \c "
read  PW

# Upgrade and install needed software
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get install python-software-properties

add-apt-repository  ppa:uwsgi/release
apt-get update
apt-get -y install nginx-full
apt-get -y install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python

        }
