pip – Manages Python library dependencies¶
Synopsis¶
Manage Python library dependencies. To use this module, one of the following keys is required:
name
orrequirements
.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
pip
virtualenv
setuptools
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
chdir
-
|
cd into this directory before running the command
|
|
editable
boolean
added in 2.0 |
|
Pass the editable flag.
|
executable
-
|
The explicit executable or a pathname to the executable to be used to run pip for a specific version of Python installed in the system. For example
pip-3.3 , if there are both Python 2.7 and 3.3 installations in the system and you want to run pip for the Python 3.3 installation. It cannot be specified together with the 'virtualenv' parameter (added in 2.1). By default, it will take the appropriate version for the python interpreter use by ansible, e.g. pip3 on python 3, and pip2 or pip on python 2. |
|
extra_args
-
|
Extra arguments passed to pip.
|
|
name
-
|
The name of a Python library to install or the url(bzr+,hg+,git+,svn+) of the remote package.
This can be a list (since 2.2) and contain version specifiers (since 2.7).
|
|
requirements
-
|
The path to a pip requirements file, which should be local to the remote system. File can be specified as a relative path if using the chdir option.
|
|
state
-
|
|
The state of module
The 'forcereinstall' option is only available in Ansible 2.1 and above.
|
umask
-
added in 2.1 |
The system umask to apply before installing the pip package. This is useful, for example, when installing on systems that have a very restrictive umask by default (e.g., "0077") and you want to pip install packages which are to be used by all users. Note that this requires you to specify desired umask mode as an octal string, (e.g., "0022").
|
|
version
-
|
The version number to install of the Python library specified in the name parameter.
|
|
virtualenv
-
|
An optional path to a virtualenv directory to install into. It cannot be specified together with the 'executable' parameter (added in 2.1). If the virtualenv does not exist, it will be created before installing packages. The optional virtualenv_site_packages, virtualenv_command, and virtualenv_python options affect the creation of the virtualenv.
|
|
virtualenv_command
-
|
Default: "virtualenv"
|
The command or a pathname to the command to create the virtual environment with. For example
pyvenv , virtualenv , virtualenv2 , ~/bin/virtualenv , /usr/local/bin/virtualenv . |
virtualenv_python
-
added in 2.0 |
The Python executable used for creating the virtual environment. For example
python3.5 , python2.7 . When not specified, the Python version used to run the ansible module is used. This parameter should not be used when virtualenv_command is using pyvenv or the -m venv module. |
|
virtualenv_site_packages
boolean
|
|
Whether the virtual environment will inherit packages from the global site-packages directory. Note that if this setting is changed on an already existing virtual environment it will not have any effect, the environment must be deleted and newly created.
|
Notes¶
Note
Please note that virtualenv (http://www.virtualenv.org/) must be installed on the remote host if the virtualenv parameter is specified and the virtualenv needs to be created.
By default, this module will use the appropriate version of pip for the interpreter used by ansible (e.g. pip3 when using python 3, pip2 otherwise)
