Cannot install tweepy on Rasbian with sudo pip install

I am trying to make a Twitter app with my Pi but when I try the command

sudo pip install tweepy

I get greeted by the following error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'skip_requirements_regex'
----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /home/pi/build/tweepy

Any suggestions? This also happens if I try to install directly from GitHub

I have tried "sudo pip install -U pip"

but still got errors but looking at documentation found better option.

easy_install tweepy

and it worked as expected.

Someone on the Raspberry Pi forums figured out the problem. Apparently there is a problem installing some applications with pip v1.1, which is the version in the Raspbian repository. Updating pip with the following command did the trick. 

sudo pip install -U pip
