pip for puppet

This is a puppet module for using Python's pip. Puppet has a built-in pip provider, but it's implementation leaves out a few pieces:

• No ability to install from requirements file.
• No ability to add extra arguments
• No support for using mirrors or specifying alternate indexes.

This module fixes this.

Usage

Make sure this module is available by adding this repository's contents in a directory called pip inside your Puppet's moduledir.

Boostrap pip (optional):

Once the module is installed and accessible, you can bootstrap your pip environment by adding this to your manifest:

pip::bootstrap{ "pip-bootstrap": }

You only need to do this on machines that do not already have pip installed. This installs the latest version of pip and distribute

Installing Packages:

To install a package, simply provide the name of the package you want to install like this:

pip::install { "armstrong": }

The name is passed to pip::install, so you can include version requirements and so on using the name.
