it's needed.  I'm supporting back to 2.2.1

in: 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/dist/setup-script.html#SECTION000360000000000000000

I found:

"""
if you wish to include classifiers in your setup.py file and also wish 
to remain backwards-compatible with Python releases prior to 2.2.3, then 
you can include the following code fragment in your setup.py before the 
setup() call.

# patch distutils if it can't cope with the "classifiers" or
# "download_url" keywords
if sys.version < '2.2.3':
     from distutils.dist import DistributionMetadata
     DistributionMetadata.classifiers = None
     DistributionMetadata.download_url = None
"""

does this help?
