Some feature-negotiation takes place during the distributed Erlang
handshake and R10B demands more support than previous versions.

The version of Distel in the Jungerl (sourceforge project 'jungerl')
should work. Exerpt from Distel changelog:

        * elisp/derl.el (derl-send-name): Lie to Erlang by saying that we
        support extended PIDs. This way we can establish distribution with
        R10B-0, which doesn't seem to actually send extended pids
        initially. (This is a lame workaround but I'm in a hurry and the
        extended-pid format is not documented.)

You could try this totally untested patch to py_interface to do the
same thing:
