I neglected to mention that this is on Gutsy so it's possible something needs to be upgraded.

The version of simplejson that you are using is too old. This specific bug will go away if you install simplejson >= 1.9.1. I suspect that you will probably encounter other dependency issues, however. We don't really support gutsy.
