Update bootstrap scripts #1

Description

@Ivoz

A lot has changed in python packaging since 3 years ago!

This is the top result searching for 'ez_setup' on DuckDuckGo.

distribute is now no longer the new hotness, setuptools is! (because distribute got merged back into it)

So the recommendation has pretty much reversed, which is unfortunately really bad for old advice.

The newest setuptools can be found at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools

and bootstrap script at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py

newest distribute is 0.7.3 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.7.3 but it is now recommended to install setuptools instead.

Maybe you could consider updating your files / advice in this repo to update to the newest situation.

If you'd like an informative video about how things have changed, there is one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xrdt3-YVz4

cheers
