Doesn't Distribute work with setuptools packages? I think we should wait a bit
until
Distribute becomes more common (most people are still on setuptools).

Distribute is a drop-in replacement for setuptools. That means for now the two
are
completely interchangeable.
Since our project does not depend on Distribute/Setuptools (it simply uses this
to
build & upload stuff ) it's an issue for us rather than the end user. I'm
saying that
we should switch to the new improved stuff ASAP.
We should also change our documentation to recommend people use Distribute
rather
than setuptools (even though both will work), since Distribute is actively
maintained
on the platforms we support whereas Setuptools is not.

If it works with setuptools, I'm fine with that. :)

It's a replacement for setuptools - usage (for now) is identical.
