[Distutils] defining requirements on pypi

[Brett Graham]

Thanks for testing it and extra info!

It sounds like I 'fixed' the problem in the not-recommended way of
including requirements.txt in the MANIFEST.in.

I've been using a pretty hefty setup.py:
https://github.com/braingram/simple_setup that attempts to auto-parse and
detect 'everything' (finding packages, data, scripts, author info, version,
requirements) with the hope of dropping it in a directory with a python
module and magically having it pypi compatible. It sounds like it may be a
pipe dream :)
