Build a wheel/egg and all dependencies for a python project

In order to stage python project within our corporation I need to make an installable distribution. This should include: An egg or whl for my project An egg or whl for every dependency of the project (optionally) produce a requirements.txt file listing all the installable components for this release Is there an easy plug in, (e.g. an alternative to bdist_wheel) that will not only compile one wheel but also that project's components? Obviously I can script this, but I was hoping that there might be a short-cut that builds the package + dependencies in fewer steps. This needs to work on Python 2.7 on Windows + Linux.
With poetry you can define your dependencies and metadata about your project in a file in the root of your project, called pyproject.toml: [tool.poetry] name = "my-project" version = "0.1.0" description = "some longer description" authors = ["Some Author <some@author.io>"] [tool.poetry.dependencies] python = "*" [tool.poetry.dev-dependencies] pytest = "^3.4" To build your project as a wheel, execute poetry build $ poetry build Building my-project (0.1.0) - Building sdist - Built my-project-0.1.0.tar.gz - Building wheel - Built my-project-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl a dist/ folder is created with a wheel for your project.
