I&#39;ve been using Python for a while now but one of my concerns is if it =
is possible to have some sort of dependency management (not sure if right t=
erm) for Python?<br>
<br>
In the Scala language there is the Simple Build Tool that lets me specify o=
n a project-by-project basis which libraries I want to use (provided they a=
re in a central repository somewhere) and it will download them for me. Bet=
ter yet, when a new version comes out I need only change the SBT configurat=
ion file for that project and it will download it for me.<br>

Is there something like this for Python. I am typically wary of downloading=
 Python modules I use like NumPy, SciPy, NetworkX, etc because I want to be=
 able to upgrade at any time and doing so seems to be a hassle - in fact, I=
 am not entirely sure how to &quot;upgrade&quot;.<br>
