I'd personally much prefer to ship a 'requirements.txt' alongside your code, and use that to govern all the installations. If you want, you could still do a startup check to figure out if everything's installed, but I'd recommend replacing all the pip commands with a single "pip install -r requirements.txt" to fetch everything.
