'distribute' is the ancestor of 'setuptools', and many packages require
setuptools to be installed.
Upgrade of MySQL-python from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 is required because of an
incompatibility with setuptools>0.7.

IMPORTANT: this commit converts the course_groups
package to using migrations. When deploying to an
existing openedx instance, migration 0001 may fail
with an error indicating that the CourseUserGroup
table already exists. If this happens, running
the 0001 migration first, with the --fake option,
is recommended. After performing this step,
remaining migrations should work as expected.
