I can't remember whether I had to do this manually for the timeseries
scikit on Jaunty, but is the scikits directory in your python path?
To check you can

import sys
sys.path

Mine has an entry
'/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/scikits.timeseries-0.91.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg',

If not, you can append to this list as a session fix, but if you want
it to always be in your path you should be able to follow the
instructions here <http://iraniweb.com/blog/?p=23> or add this line to
your .bashrc

export PYTHONPATH="/path/to/ts"
