You need to update your dependency to either use eth-abi which is what this library was renamed to or pin to ethereum-abi-utils<0.4.5. The python library ethereum-abi-utils will no longer receive any updates. All future development is under the python library eth-abi

Also, you should upgrade to python3 really soon as support for python2 drops at the beginning of 2018.

thanks for the prompt reply!

[pipermerriam]

the stub package for ethereum-abi-utils which redirects users to eth-abi has been updated to work on python2.7
