Removing distribute dependency #36

Closed anthonygarvan closed 7 years ago

anthonygarvan commented 7 years ago

Distribute is deprecated and, although it should be tracking setuptools for compatibility, it's not keeping up to date. Hence this install is broken in python 3.6. There's no reason to use distribute over setuptools at this point.

I tested this by installing and running OCR on a few documents.

Can a new PyPI release be made for this?
