The tools/localdepends.py script installs podcastparser and mygpoclient from tarballs in PyPI to directories under src/. Since these both can be installed with pip it would be perhaps better to change this line to a pip command which installs modules from requirements.txt: pip -r tools/requirements.txt. This installs some additional, optional modules as well though.
If we recommend pip to install dependencies, then the localdepends.py script could be also removed.

Agree, it's probably a good time to retire localdepends.py. Back when it started, pip wasn't so widespread and mature as it is nowadays.
I recommend using:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Add --user if the user can't write to system directories.

I updated the commands and also removed localdepends.py from the user manual.

As of gpodder/gpodder.github.io#42, it is now recommended to use pip to install tools/requirements.txt.
