By the way, I missed this line in your email before: you should *not* pass 
dist as the second argument here.  That method is looking for a 
pkg_resources.Distribution, not a distutils.Distribution.

distutils.Distribution (and setuptools.dist.Distribution) represent 
*source* distributions that have not been built 
yet.  pkg_resources.Distribution objects represent *built* and *importable* 
distributions.  They have different data structures and 
behaviors.  distutils Distribution objects have data and methods for 
running commands and building, while pkg_resources.Distribution objects 
know about import locations, entry points, package versions, and things 
like that.   You can't pass a distutils Distribution into *any* 
pkg_resources APIs, or vice versa -- they are utterly incompatible objects.
