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

Are these changes going to be merged and a new release made here?

Make sure that, before you follow the directions given, you
$ sudo pip uninstall pymazon
If you fail to do so, the old version hangs around and causes problems.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "pip" and what Ubuntu package can it be
installed from?

pip is a package manager for Python. The pymazon release in the Python Package
Index (PyPi, like a Python repository) is broken. The "unreleased" version in
the Mercurial (hg) source repository works, at least the last time I tried it.
Fortunately, you can use pip to install from a source repository too.
To install pip, install the python-pip Ubuntu package, run:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
Before pip can install a package from a Mercurial repository, Mercurial must be
installed:
$ sudo apt-get install mercurial
Finally, to install Pyamazon from the source repository, run:
$ sudo pip install hg+https://code.google.com/r/jsphslgr-pymazon/
Run Pymazon:
$ pymazon
Installing it this way, rather than the method described above allows you to
uninstall Pyamazon in the future by running:
$ sudo pip uninstall pymazon
