Ensure pip is available
This role is intended install the requirements for the pip module on hosts.
Jobs that also wish to call pip
via shell commands
directly can also use this to ensure pip
is available.
However, it should be noted that calling pip
is ambiguous
when supporting many platforms. On some platforms it may install the
package under the Python 2 interpreter and in others Python 3. You
should use a qualified name (pip2
or pip3
) to
avoid confusion.
This role will also install wheel
components sufficient
to run bdist_wheel
builds or pip wheel
on a
source tree.
