As Tarek said, pip uses the same install_requires metadata and it treats it the same way as easy_install, including recursive install of dependencies. This is mostly orthogonal to the requirements-file feature you mentioned, which is a way to freeze a specific known "working set" of package versions for a particular purpose. IMO requirements files are most useful (in terms of avoiding unexpected breakage) when they freeze the entire set of dependencies, but even when installing from a requirements file, pip will automatically (and recursively) pursue any needed install_requires dependencies that are not present in the requirements file.
