I highly recommend Poetry for dependency management in Python. Much more sane than using pip.

fpm
Effing package management! Build packages for multiple platforms (deb, rpm, etc) with great ease and sanity.
I use FPM (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm) to build a .deb package, which I install using Ansible. The package includes a virtualenv with all the Python dependencies as well as all the static files. I use a set of Make tasks to automate building the app, setting up the venv, placing the static files, and making the .deb. I upload my packages to a reprepro package repository that I manage (if I could do it again, I might use Aptly instead). I then use Ansible to set up the package repository, install the package, and place config files. It was a lot of work to set up but the production environment is all automated.
