I'm confused now. I have tried both with setuptools alone (using
ez_setup.py instead of distribute_setup.py) and distribute, and it
doesn't work with distribute alone for me: it doesn't install the
dependencies and gives me those warnings about 'install_requires' not
being recognized.

Any ideas about what could be wrong?
