recommended packaging tool (merged with the ``distribute`` fork). We'll also be
using `pip`_ to install and uninstall it. You should install these
two packages now. If you need help, you can refer to :ref:`how to install

appear to import from ``setuptools``, since we have ``distribute``
installed, it will override the import.
