That should have installed Python as a site-package and the 
pyblosxom-cmd command in bin.

After doing that, to create a blog you do:

    % pyblosxom-cmd create <dir>

and that's it.  PyBlosxom builds the directory structure for your blog 
with flavour files and pyblosxom.cgi and config.py files.

Sounds like you should read through the README and INSTALL files.  There 
are a lot of changes in PyBlosxom 1.5 specifically to make it easy to 
install.
