Ansible Role: Pip (for Python)
An Ansible Role that installs Pip on Linux.
Requirements
On RedHat/CentOS, you may need to have EPEL installed before running this role. You can use the geerlingguy.repo-epel role if you need a simple way to ensure it's installed.
Role Variables
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
pip_package: python3-pip
The name of the packge 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: []

pip_install_packages:
# Specify names and versions.
