Using XML w/ Python...

[James]

ActivePython is same as Standard Python distribution but with a few
extras.

"As far as it should work since their both transparent, umm, well its
not."

Why do you think it is not transparent? Did you try installing it on
both?
I have ActivePython 2.4 here and it loads amara fine.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named amara
"

That means you did not manage to install it properly. Are you new to
installing Python modules from command line? If you need more hand
holding, try the Python IRC channel on freenode. The responses will be
more in real time. You probably need that since you seem to have more
than one thing to learn about.
