New issue 100: Old distribute version makes pudb uninstallable
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issue/100/old-distribute-version-makes-pudb

Laurens Van Houtven:

Hi :)

I've ran into an issue installing pudb into the tox virtualenv which I believe 
to be a consequence of pudb requriing distribute >= 0.6.35, with tox installing 
distribute == 0.6.34. Here's an excerpt:

```
Downloading/unpacking pudb (from -r 
/Users/lvh/Code/exponent/requirements-testing.txt (line 3))
  Using version 2013.1 (newest of versions: 2013.1, 2012.3, 2012.2.1, 2012.2, 
2012.1, 2011.3.1, 2011.3, 2011.2, 2011.1, 0.93.1, 0.93, 0.92.15, 0.92.14, 
0.92.13, 0.92.12, 0.92.11, 0.92.10, 0.92.9, 0.92.8, 0.92.7, 0.92.6, 0.92.5, 
0.92.4, 0.92.3, 0.92.2, 0.92.1, 0.92, 0.91.5, 0.91.4, 0.91.3, 0.91.2, 0.91.1, 
0.91, 0.90.6, 0.90.5, 0.90.4, 0.90.3, 0.90.2, 0.90.1, 0.90)
  Using download cache from 
/Users/lvh/.pip/cache/https%3A%2F%2Fpypi.python.org%2Fpackages%2Fsource%2Fp%2Fpudb%2Fpudb-2013.1.tar.gz
  Running setup.py egg_info for package pudb
    The required version of distribute (>=0.6.35) is not available,
    and can't be installed while this script is running. Please
    install a more recent version first, using
    'easy_install -U distribute'.

    (Currently using distribute 0.6.34 
(/Users/lvh/Code/exponent/.tox/pypy/site-packages/distribute-0.6.34-py2.7.egg))
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    The required version of distribute (>=0.6.35) is not available,

and can't be installed while this script is running. Please

install a more recent version first, using

'easy_install -U distribute'.
```

I've fixed this by adding a pip install --upgrade distribute line right before 
attempting to install that, but I'm guessing the appropriate thing would be for 
tox to install the latest version of distribute instead?
