Since distribute aims to replace setuptools, it should be installed at
the very beginning of the process. (With distribute installed, "import
setuptools" gives you distribute code.)

Further, which of those packages actually requires setuptools? A quick
look at their repositories suggests none of them do.

Lastly, the build log you posted a while ago didn't show any
issues--what do you need help resolving?

HTH,
Andreas
