Title: Remove 'distribute' dependency

This dependency appears unnecessary and it causes installing this package
from wheel to fail with this traceback:

```
$ pip install --use-wheel distribute
Downloading/unpacking distribute
Downloading distribute-0.7.3-cp26-none-linux_x86_64.whl
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools>=0.7 in ./venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages (from distribute)
