add requirements.txt or Pipfile

[adtya]

currently, the only option to install and manage the dependencies is by using the setup.py. It'll be easier to manage the dependencies by having a requirements.txt or Pipfile

@adtyanair Any progress with this?

I was able to add all the dependencies in the setup.py file using pipenv and Pipfile. I verified this by running pip install -e . which shows requirement already satisfied. But to run the program, it is required to install it to the system and this installs the dependencies anyways.

Also, I looked through some other similar python packages and none of them seems to have a Pipfile. so I'm still researching on this.

@adtyanair Yes, I've had a thought over this. I feel it's be better if we control the versions of dependencies right from setup.py.

I'd really appreciate if you can update the setup.py file instead with current versions of the dependencies. I missed this out. Apologies for the late revert.

Let me know what you think

@adtyanair any updates on this?

[adtya]

as of now, the dependency versions are not provided and available latest versions are being installed. This could break something if a breaking change is added to any of the dependencies.

At the moment the following versions are being installed(on Linux) and drive seems to work properly with these:

click [required: Any, installed: 7.0]
colorama [required: Any, installed: 0.4.1]
google-api-python-client [required: Any, installed: 1.7.8]
httplib2 [required: Any, installed: 0.12.1]
oauth2client [required: Any, installed: 4.1.3]
pick [required: Any, installed: 0.6.4]
prettytable [required: Any, installed: 0.7.2]
pyfiglet [required: Any, installed: 0.8.post1]
requests [required: Any, installed: 2.21.0]

Should I fix these versions for the dependencies?

@adtyanair Sorry for addressing your comments lately.
Sure, Go ahead.
Thanks :)

I have created a pull request. But I was not able to do anything about the requirement 'windows-curses' because I don't have a windows system with me. It would be nice if someone with a windows system could help.
