Fix "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267 UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'"

[ghuls]

As mentioned on http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/, distribute is deprecated:

Distribute is a deprecated fork of the Setuptools project.

Since the Setuptools 0.7 release, Setuptools and Distribute have merged and
Distribute is no longer being maintained. All ongoing effort should reference the
Setuptools project and the Setuptools documentation.

By using setuptools instead of distutils, the "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'" warning disappears:

try to install the python-tools
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

[darkn3rd]

I did the following command: apt-get -yqqf install python-setuptools && easy_install pip && pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

And I got this output:
