How to make a python file, which installs the mentioned python packages, on running that python file in console instead of installing packages one by one as we do by using pip I am also confused with setup.py is it same and if it is how to do please help

As you mentioned, you can use pip and create requirement.txt file to install required packages. — Ahmad Nourallah

You can make one text file which has your name of package requirements. Like this is requirement.txt

requests==2.7.0
selenium==3.4.3
Flask==0.10.1
retrying==1.3.3

then you can run it like

pip install -r requirement.txt

Note: Place this txt file to at where the pip is.

And for how this differs from the setup.py you can refer this
