This is what i get when i say pip install amara.

Does amara have any dependency on 4Suite-XML ?

[aashish-pathak]

This installs older version of amara v1.2.*

Sorry, I somehow missed this notification. I'm very surprised "pip install amara" installs the old version. What happens if you do "pip install amara==2.0.0a6"?

4Suite-XML is quite outdated, but I do think it was a dependency for Amara 1.x.
