Still using distribute instead of setuptools.
Issue #4
resolved
Can we move to the new setuptools system and away from distribute? The API are compatible with how they're being used here, so a simple change to reqs/requires.txt should be all that is required.

Stephen,
You probably meant distribute (not distutils). Right, distribute fork of setuptools has been deprecated for several years now and all work merged back into setuptools. This dependency is pulling distribute into a build that already depends on newer setuptools. Let's get this fixed, please.

The fork at https://bitbucket.org/grizzlynyo/stuf has does this, but it would be nice to have fix in PyPI. We have a large software base and we're trying to clean up our dependencies on distutils vs. setuptools. The last one using distutils is stuf (from shove). :)
