Having the dependency on distribute makes it impossible to install the library on Python 3.6, it fails with an error like this:
Collecting distribute (from pyzmail==1.0.3)
Using cached distribute-0.7.3.zip
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

As far as I can see, it works fine even without distribute.
