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