distribute 0.6.16 on latest python3

[Senthil Kumaran]

My trial with distribute_setup.py using the latest python3 (cpython repo at hg.python.org) resulted in this.

Bug?

Adding distribute 0.6.16 to easy-install.pth file

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: can't use a bytes pattern on a string-like object

Something went wrong during the installation.

See the error message above.
