Cloud dataflow python3 job not solving dependencies

[Santiago Del Valle]

I have a simple apache beam project using python 3 to transform some data and write to big query, it uses a package called texstat, if I run locally everything works, but when I run on dataflow I get the following error:

NameError: name 'textstat' is not defined [while running 'generatedPtransform-441']

This is my current setup.py file:

import setuptools 

REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['textstat==0.5.6'] 
    PACKAGE_NAME = 'my_package' 
    PACKAGE_VERSION = '0.0.1' 
    setuptools.setup( 
    name=PACKAGE_NAME, 
    version=PACKAGE_VERSION, 
    description='Example project', 
    install_requires=REQUIRED_PACKAGES, 
    packages=setuptools.find_packages(), 
)

and this are my pipeline args

pipeline_args = [ 
    '--project={}'.format('etl-example'), 
    '--runner={}'.format('Dataflow'), 
    '--temp_location=gs://dataflowtemporal/', 
    '--setup_file=./setup.py', 
]

and I run it like this

pipeline_options = PipelineOptions(pipeline_args) 
pipeline_options.view_as(StandardOptions).streaming = True 
pipeline = beam.Pipeline(options=pipeline_options) 
#The actual pipelines it is running
pipeline.run()

I also tried with running this on the terminal before running the job:

python setup.py sdist --formats=gztar

but I get the same results of texstat not being found. Another thing I tries was without setup.py and only with the argument

--requirements_file=./requirements.txt

But again, texstat is not found

At this point I don't know what else to try.
