from here -> http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/patterns/distribute/

distribute has gone the way of the norwegian blue, hence dead link at http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py should be cleaned up

Thanks @wimglenn.

To any new contributors that are interested in fixing this, the relevant file is:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask/blob/master/docs/patterns/distribute.rst

It may make sense to completely remove this section and adjust any links to it. It seems mostly outdated.

Distribute is deprecated.
I don't think this warrants deleting the page, since the information is still relevant.
Should the page be renamed to setuptools and updated accordingly?

@thatarchguy, I disagree. The old docs will exist if anyone would like to look at them later, this page has information that should not be used. Renaming/updating is akin to making a new page for setuptools, the two tasks can probably be done in separate PRs.

the information is mostly the same, rename and word replace seems to be the least effect to go from bad back to good
