I think that you should actually install setuptools instead of
distribute (the situation with these two packages is a little
confusing at the moment). You can do that with the ez_setup.py script
here:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads/ez_setup.py

If you already know how to run a Python script then just download and
run that script and it should download and install setuptools for you.
Then you should be able to install ipython.
