python_pip

Install pythons pip on your system.

Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/resources/playbook.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - robertdebock.python_pip

The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared, I use this playbook to ensure everything is in place to let the role work.

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - robertdebock.bootstrap
    - robertdebock.epel
    - robertdebock.buildtools

After running this role, this playbook runs to verify that everything works, this may be a good example how you can use this role.

---
- name: Verify
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  tasks:
    - name: install pip module
      pip:
        name: ansible
        state: present

Role Variables
--------------

These variables are set in `defaults/main.yml`:
```yaml

# python_pip_proxy: "https://user:password@proxy:8443/artifactory/pypi/pypi-virtual/simple"

Requirements

• Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
• A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the current, previous and next release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:

---

- robertdebock.epel

If you find issues, please register them in GitHub

Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:

Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.

To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):

molecule test

# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox

Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images: Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
