The install_requires value in setup.py does not specify the exact versions (dependency==0.1.0) and / or version bounds (dependency<=0.2). This means that someone could install this project a year from now and it may not work because a dependency could have introduced a backwards incompatible change. It's therefore better to specify the versions and upgrade them yourself when you've verified that a newer version of a dependency works fine with this project.
