  • If i install latest version of amara by specifying the version, this problem won't come up. Apparently, due to urgency i moved on. – Aashish P Jul 30 '13 at 12:03

You can try to install it with a specific version or use the below method.

I've tried this solution with other packages. You can use this command to install it. pip install --egg amara

It should work for amara also.

I'm using it in python 2.7

ThinkPad-T430:~$ pip --version
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
