That commands comes with distribute, but not setuptools. Can you tell me, are you on a Debian or Ubuntu (or other Debian-based) OS? If so, I don't know what's going on, but if not, I suspect the problem is the line:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
On Debian, setuptools is really distribute, so it all works, but on non-Debian derived systems, this is probably broken.
