Development dependencies

You need to include a requirements file which includes all of the versions of packages used during development. This means any bugs can be reproduced, and ensures you and anyone else working on your package have the exact same versions of other packages.

This is different to the install_requires parameter which tries to allow as many dependency versions as possible. The install_requires is for users and the requirements.txt is for developers.
