manage_pip_packages
=========
> This repository is only a mirror. Development and testing is done on a private gitea 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/manage_pip_packages.yml.sample` in case you need it for any `group_vars` or `host_vars` configuration.
```yaml
manage_pip_packages_install_prereqs: true # by default, set to true
```
```yaml
manage_pip_packages_list: # by default, not defined
- name: nginx
version_constraint: latest # Leaving empty or setting '' will be considered as latest
state: absent
- name: ...
```
This variable is a list of packages, with their name, desired version and state. `version_constraint` can be multiple constraints,separated by commas (example: `>1.10`, `>1.10,<1.15,!=1.12`,`==1.13`).
```yaml
manage_pip_packages_allow_break_system_packages: false # by default, set to false
```
This variable allow you to pass the `--break_system_packages` to pip.
> **Warning**
> This is not recommended, and is only here if you have no other choice to install packages that aren't supported by the package manager, on distros that enforce the [PEP668](https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/). Chances are you can probably use [manage_pipx_packages](https://github.com/ednz_cloud/manage_pipx_packages) to install packages using pipx, avoiding the potential damages to your system.
Dependencies
------------
`ednz_cloud.manage_apt_packages` to install python3 and pip (if selected).
Example Playbook
----------------
```yaml
# calling the role inside a playbook with either the default or group_vars/host_vars
- hosts: servers
roles:
- ednz_cloud.manage_pip_packages
```
```yaml
# calling the role inside a playbook and injecting variables (in another role for example)
- hosts: servers
tasks:
- name: "Install ansible with pip"
ansible.builtin.include_role:
name: ednz_cloud.manage_pip_packages
vars:
manage_pip_packages_install_prereqs: false
manage_pip_packages_list:
- name: ansible-core
version_constraint: latest
state: present
```
