Where do you plan to host this file? Will it be available on PiPy?

As has already been noted in this thread you do not create a file
specifically for pip, but rather use the standard (or soon to be) way of
distributing Python distributions outlined in:

http://docs.python.org/library/distutils.html#module-distutils
http://packages.python.org/distribute/

If you do not plan to host your "file" on pypi you can easily create a
pip requirements file that references a VCS of your choice. Read how to
do this in the pip documentation on "editable" packages:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/
