Alternative (proper PEP8):

    setup(name="status",
          author="Valentine Svensson",
          author_email="genomics_support@scilifelab.se",
          description="Webapp for keeping track of metadata status at SciLifeLab",
          license="MIT",
          scripts=["status_app.py"],
          install_requires=["tornado",
                            "couchdb",
                            "pyyaml",
                            "numpy",
                            "matplotlib"],
          packages=find_packages()
           )

I think the variable length of the fields makes it hard to read...
