No.

Neither.

Setuptools lets you declare this information in the setup script; see the 
setuptools.txt file for details.  The "egg_info" command writes the data to 
a file, that is then read by other commands and also put into the built 
egg's metadata.

This information isn't something really suitable for PyPI, because the 
setup script is allowed to compute the information dynamically.  (Some 
dependencies might apply only to a particular platform, for example.)
