Issue #17030 has been updated by Bradley Kreider. Assignee changed from Bradley Kreider to eric sorenson
Thank you for the reply. Are you suggesting that I set $PATH right before the package provider is called and then set it back afterwards? I did try running puppet with a different python path, but that broke everything. I think the main problem is that people using python for analytical computations need to use multiple versions of python and packages such as numpy 1.6 or numpy 1.7. On my RHEL based systems, I don't want to mess with the system python and mess anything up, so I have python versions installed outside of the system python. It seems difficult to use puppet+pip in a situation like this. Unfortunately, I can't create a patch at the moment. I had to resort to Fabric+puppet for our deploys, so all of the pip packages are getting installed by Fabric. I would like to keep as much configuration in puppet as possible, but it will have to wait until I can refactor our deploy process. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17030: pip provider should handle multiple pips/pythons https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17030#change-77747 Author: Bradley Kreider Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: provider Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.17 Keywords: Branch: The Pip provider should provide a way to specify the path to pip. This would allow people to manage multiple python installs, by point to the one they want to install into. In RHEL, this makes it easy to have a non-system python installed somewhere (ie: 2.7 or 3.x) and let puppet manage the python packages. This is related to bug #15980. (related in the way that if you could provide the path to the pip binary, 15980 would have a workaround). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
