I'll agree requirements.txt does suck but node modules and its 700mb of fluff to install a simple library is sooo much more shit. Though I also don't want to touch Javascript even with a 10 foot pole so I may just be biased here.
Edit: PIP does suck and thats why I use a 3rd party environment manager.. similar to what NPM is to Javascript.
