Assuming you want this to work _now_, you still need "install_requires",
not "requires_dist".

And you would change "from distutils.core import setup" to "from
setuptools import setup". Since distribute 0.6 is a drop-in replacement
for setuptools, and provides a package named "setuptools", this will use
either setuptools or distribute, whichever happens to be installed.
