Ansible Role: Unsafe Pip (for Python)

An Ansible Role that installs Pip on Linux.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

pip_package: python3-pip

The name of the package to install to get pip on the system. For older systems that don't have Python 3 available, you can set this to python-pip.

pip_executable: pip3

The role will try to autodetect the pip executable based on the pip_package (e.g. pip for Python 2 and pip3 for Python 3). You can also override this explicitly, e.g. pip_executable: pip3.6.

pip_install_packages: []

A list of packages to install with pip. Examples below:

pip_install_packages:
  # Specify names and versions.
  - name: docker
    version: "1.2.3"
  - name: awscli
    version: "1.11.91"

  # Or specify bare packages to get the latest release.
  - docker
  - awscli

  # Or uninstall a package.
  - name: docker
    state: absent

  # Or update a package to the latest version.
  - name: docker
    state: latest

  # Or force a reinstall.

    state: forcereinstall

  # Or install a package with break_system_packages parameter.
  - name: docker
    break_system_packages: true

  # Or install a package in a particular virtualenv.
  - name: docker
    virtualenv: /my_app/venv
