I'd say it's good to document the dependencies, because otherwise
 getting it to run could be a PITA for the user; poking around I
 don't see a convenient readme that could have a note added like
 "This tool requires the PyYAML and jsonschema libraries".
And if you're going to add a document just for this then it *may
 as well* be in the machine-readable format that pip install can
 consume.

I'm not exactly an expert either :D
