Can't import xqueue-watcher to other project as a package

Hi all.

I'd like to use xqueue-watcher as a package to create my own watcher as child class of Grader, as described here.
In order to do that I created new project and tried to import the watcher there via a command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
there a content of the requirements file is
-e git+https://github.com/edx/xqueue-watcher#egg=xqueue-watcher

The process failed with error
'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Invalid requirement, parse error at "'-e git+h'"

After I tried to clone this project and build it via a command
python setup.py install
and got the same error.

Looks like an issue is install_requires=open('requirements/production.txt', 'rb').readlines() string in setup.py and git codejail dependecy in requirements files.

Is it really the issue or do I make something wrong?

Start by reproducing the failure with the requirements.txt command and inspect setup.py, requirements/production.txt, and the referenced requirements files. Check how install_requires is built and how the codejail dependency is specified; done means the project installs without the invalid requirement parse error and can be imported as a package.
