I don't know if there's anything that works with random Python scripts.
I suppose the straightforward Debian way of it would be to package your
script in a .deb package and include the proper dependencies, then apt
would take care of installing those too.

Debian has a wiki page covering the project's Python packaging policy
and how to do it at https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Packaging.
