fixes (in part) the runtime of the ci on github, saving some 15 odd seconds of installing libraries using pip
this particular change adds a step called "cache python dependencies", which on the first run (as seen here) doesn't find the cached dependencies, but on a re-run uses the previously downloaded deps
the cache is updated, whenever the (hash of) requirements.txt changes, which is quite rare.
