python setup.py install fails because distribute is not found

I get this error when I try to install your package on my Mac (Python from Macports):

$ python setup.py install --user
Traceback (most recent call last):

Maybe you have to update to the latest astropy affiliated package template infrastructure? https://github.com/astropy/package-template/blob/master/setup.py

Commit e52bb4d54bdcaa7f765f093e20f83a3dd5aa5537 should fix this issue. Can you test it again?

$ python setup.py build
  File "setup.py", line 17

IndentationError: unexpected indent

You need travis-ci. :-)
