Manage pip packages
=========
> This repository is only a mirror. Development and testing is done on a private gitlab server.

This role enables you to manage python packages on debian-based distributions. It can be used on its own , or be called by other roles the install/remove packages on demand.

Requirements
------------

None.

Role Variables
--------------
Available variables are listed below, along with default values. A sample file for the default values is available in `default/hashicorp_consul.yml.sample` in case you need it for any `group_vars` or `host_vars` configuration.

```yaml
hashi_consul_install: true # by default, set to true
```
This variable defines if the consul package is to be installed or not before configuring. If you install consul using another task, you can set this to `false`.

Dependencies
------------

This role requires both `ednxzu.manage_repositories` and `ednxzu.manage_apt_packages` to install consul. If you already installed consul, you can set `hashi_consul_install` to `false`, and that'll remove the dependencies.

Example Playbook
----------------

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
```yaml
# calling the role inside a playbook with either the default or group_vars/host_vars
- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - ednxzu.manage_pip_packages
```
