title: Maven equivalent for python
body: <p>I'm a java developer/python beginner, and I'm missing my maven features, particularly dependency management and build automation (I mean you don't build, but how to create a package for deployment?)  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a python equivalent to achieve these features?<br>
  Note: I use python 2.x</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
