+Quick help for developers
+-------------------------
+
+To use Distribute in your package, the recommended way is to ship
+`distribute_setup.py` alongside your `setup.py` script and call
+it at the very begining of `setup.py` like this::
+
+ from distribute_setup import use_setuptools
+ use_setuptools()
+
+
+Another way is to add ``Distribute`` in the ``install_requires`` option::
+
+ from setuptools import setup
+
+ setup(...
+ install_requires=['distribute']
+ )
