problems installing tweepy

Hi guys,
I wonder if you can help me with this please.
I'm trying to install tweepy but I run into some problems. First of all I installed python-pip which went through OK it looks like, then when I tried tweepy I got the following error:

Code:

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~$ pip install tweepy

Downloading/unpacking tweepy

  Downloading tweepy-3.3.0.tar.gz

  Running setup.py egg_info for package tweepy

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

      File "/home/antobbo/build/tweepy/setup.py", line 17, in <module>

        install_reqs = parse_requirements('requirements.txt', session=uuid.uuid1())

    TypeError: parse_requirements() got an unexpected keyword argument 'session'

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

----------------------------------------

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1

Storing complete log in /home/antobbo/.pip/pip.log

I then tried from github but got the same error:

Code:

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~$ git clone https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~$ cd tweepy

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~/tweepy$ python setup.py install

Apologies, I forgot.
Linux version is 12.04.

Code:

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~$  uname -m

x86_64

Code:

antobbo@antobbo-linux-Dell-System-XPS-L702X:~$ python --version

Python 2.7.3

Should I upgrade do you think?

No luck with Ubuntu 12.04 (i686 or x86_64) / python 2.7.3 . EDIT ...
EDIT : See #5.

OK is Ubuntu 14.04 (i686 or x86_64) / python 2.7.6 :
$ sudo apt-get install git python-setuptools python-pip python-all-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git
$ cd tweepy/
$ python setup.py build

-

Ubuntu 12.04 : $ sudo apt-get install python-tweepy

....Which will provide version 1.7.1
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-tweepy

OK, looks like I've installed it with the command you suggested knudfl, thanks, I will see how it goes now
