python package management confusion

[dcs3spp]

Hi,

I am a newbie completely confused with python package management.

I have a setup.py file (listed below) and have setup pip and setup.cfg to install my own dependencies  from a local devpi repository.

Can setup.py reference a git repository so that I can install from that url?

Is this possible in newer versions of setuptools? Does anyone have any examples? 

Completely confused with managing packages in python....


Kind regards
