I have written a script that requires a couple of modules to be installed through pip. The idea of the program is to distribute to users, but I don't want the user to have to install the dependencies with pip.

Ideally, I'd like them to be able to execute a setup.py script first that would install the required modules.

Ex: user runs setup.py pip install foo

I'm new to the packaging thing. Thanks for any info.

According to this setup takes an argument install_requires and automatically downloads the required packages from PyPI. An additional argument of dependency_links can be used to specify the links to the source code of packages not hosted on PyPI.

You could follow the steps mentioned here and put your code on PyPI so that users can install your package easily.
