Virtualbricks is installable with pip but it won't work. It depends
indeed on pygtk which is not installable via pip. The first solution is
to install pygtk from your distribution's packages and to install
Virtualbricks with pip::

pip install --user .
pip install --user .

The second solution is to install Virtualbricks from the DEB or RPM
packages. Available soon.

Note also that if you install Virtualbricks with pip, you must be able
to install the dependencies, most notably pygraphviz. Pygraphviz
requires a compiler, pkg-config and the development libraries for
graphviz (libgraphviz-dev in Debian).
