A few of those shouldn't be required at runtime just for developers
I think (pep8, flake8 pylint, epydoc).  So the only real depencies
to run it should be nose2 (we shouldn't need nose when there is nose2
but I need to spend some more time with the code), nvme-cli and python
itself which seems pretty reasonable.
