Reference requirements.txt for the install_requires kwarg in setuptools setup.py file

I have a requirements.txt file that I’m using with Travis-CI. It seems silly to duplicate the requirements in both requirements.txt and setup.py, so I was hoping to pass a file handle to the install_requires kwarg in setuptools.setup.

Is this possible? If so, how should I go about doing it?

Here is my requirements.txt file:

guessit>=0.5.2
tvdb_api>=1.8.2
hachoir-metadata>=1.3.3
hachoir-core>=1.3.3
hachoir-parser>=1.3.4
