My environment: Ubuntu LTS 12.04, carbon (https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) 0.9.9 installed using "pip".
I just learned why when I run "pip freeze" on a system I don't see the "carbon" package even when it installed successfully - I should run it with "PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/lib/ pip freeze". (ref: https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/issues/86) This causes Puppet to re-install the package on every run (and reload dependant servers), even though it's already installed and there is nothing that really needs to be done. I guess this is the package's fault, but it made me hit once more a limitation in Puppet i.e. that I don't have a way to pass options or environment variables to "pip". Apparently there are already a couple of issues and pull requests for this in https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1507 and https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18029, but they don't seem likely to be accepted. Alternatively - can anyone point me to how they solved the carbon package (or a similar) issue? i.e. that it doesn't get re-installed on every Puppet run?
