requirments.txt dependencies do not match setup.py

The requirments.txt dependencies do not match the setup.py dependencies. For example,

requirements.txt	setup.py	package
1.11.0	1.10.0	six
2018.1.18	2017.7.27.1	certifi
2.18.4	2.11.1	requests

This is causing issues for me since the versions in the setup.py are very old. Moreover, setup.py specifies strict dependencies instead of lower bounds.

Questions:

• Is there a reason for the inconsistency between requirments.txt and setup.py?
• The requirements.txt does not appear to be used by setup.py – what is the purpose of having it in the repo?
• Could we change the dependencies to be lower bounds to enhance the compatibility as packages are updated?

Third idea: You can house everything in setup.py by creating another section for tests_require and/or extras_require (and you could make dev one of the extras). This would mitigate the need to have the core dependencies listed twice (and thus eliminate risk of versions being out of sync since you could get rid of the requirements.txt). Then to set up a dev environment, you would do pip install -e tuspy[dev] or pip install -e tuspy[test].

Looks great!
