This is a known issue, but it can be fixed, for now, by using the code in 
either my or michaelstrecke's clone repo:

$ sudo apt-get install mercurial
$ hg clone https://code.google.com/r/jsphslgr-pymazon/ # or 
michaelstrecke-pymazon
$ cd jsphslgr-pymazon
$ python setup.py install

That last line may need a sudo, or you can install it on a per-user basis by 
adding "--user" at the end
