Howdy,

The python packaging tool distribute was originally a fork of setuptools. It was merged back into setuptools in June 2013, thereby making setuptools the default choice for packaging.  The IUS team will be deprecating our current python*-distribute packages and replacing them with the corresponding python*-setuptools packages.  They are currently in the testing repo.  Please test these packages and provide feedback on any issues.

Example: yum install --enable=ius-testing python33-setuptools

We are planning to move the new packages to the stable repos at the beginning of June.

Respectfully,
Carl George
