> Currently it assumes that the required Python environment(i.e. Python 3.5+, setuptools, etc) are available in the local machine when executing create_binary_release.sh to perform the release. 
> This could be improved and there are two options in my mind:
> 1) Reuse the script defined in flink-python module(lint-python.sh) to create the required virtual environment and build the Python package using the created virtual environment.
> 2) Document the dependencies at the page "[Create a Flink Release|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Checklisttoproceedtothenextstep.1]" and add validation check in create_binary_release.sh to throw an meaningful error with hints how to fix it.
> Personally I prefer to option 1) as it's transparent for users. Welcome any feedback.
