Re: [ansible-project] Intermittent failures when using easy_install

[Biswadip Dutta]

I am a newbie so don't expect this to be the correct answer.  Be sure to
correct me if I am wrong.
I'll suggest using apt or yum module to install pip and then pip module to
install virtualenv and check if the problem persists. If these also fail
then we can always use the shell module to directly run ad-hoc commands.
This

might
be helpful.

[ansible-project] Intermittent failures when using easy_install

[SurferL]

Running Ansible 2.4.1.

So sometimes running my task works, and other times it doesn't and I don't 
understand why this is happening...

The task is: 

- name: mac | Install global python dependencies
  easy_install:
name: "{{ item }}"
state: latest
  become: true
  with_items:
- pip
- virtualenv

and it occasionally fails with: 

vmware-vmx: TASK [common : mac | Install global python dependencies] 
***
vmware-vmx: failed: [default] (item=pip) => {"changed": false, "failed": 
true, "item": "pip", "msg": "Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe 
misspelled?)\nNo local packages or download links found for pip\nerror: 
Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip')\n"}
vmware-vmx: failed: [default] (item=virtualenv) => {"changed": false, 
"failed": true, "item": "virtualenv", "msg": "Couldn't find index page for 
'virtualenv' (maybe misspelled?)\nNo local packages or download links found 
for virtualenv\nerror: Could not find suitable distribution for 
Requirement.parse('virtualenv')\n"}


But it sometimes passes?

Can anyone shed any light on why this happens or what I can change to my 
task?

Thanks!
