Without knowing what exactly they considered friendlier, I'm not sure
what to suggest. Even if yo
I'll be sure to address that before the final release.

You may be already aware of this, but the installation instructions

Setuptools and Distribute are now merged, and the new home can be found at

Issues for Distribute are still being maintained at its old home, but
