When Ansible runs under Python 2, such as on SuSE 15, we need python2-pip for pip: to work. Update the default to install Python 2 deps when Ansible is running under v2. Additionally for SuSE, as described inline we can have pip but not setuptools. Put in a work-around to always pull in the setuptools package. Pull this out into a separate file; history has shown that we may need more :/ Change-Id: I450171aad5e31d2925239ab3d0641cd23f6815a2
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.
Role Variables
Output Variables
This variable will be set to a command appropriate for general usage with the
pip
modulevirtualenv_command
argument on the host. On Python 3 hosts this will be the inbuiltvenv
module, on Python 2 hosts thevirtualenv
package will be installed (this is avoided on Python 3 hosts as an unnecessary dependency).
