+distribute is a fork of the setuptools project.
+
+Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method for working
+with Python module distributions.
+
+For those who may wonder why they should switch to Distribute over Setuptools,
+it's quite simple:
+
+- Distribute is a drop-in replacement for Setuptools.
+- The code is actively maintained, and has over 10 commiters.
+- Distribute offers Python 3 support!
+
+If you have pysetuptools installed, you need to remove it before installing
+this package.
