pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

There is no ‘requirements’ key – and ‘requires’ are runtime dependencies.  You don’t want to put your development tools there.

>   (Is there a 'develop_requires' key?)

No: http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords

There is tests_require which is also something different from development tools and get used when you run setup.py test which we AFAIK don’t.
