Autologic Python

Manage Python installations from source. RedHat/RHEL based systems usually ship with Python 2.6 which is designed to work as a core OS component, not run user scripts/applications. This Role helps ease the management of a custom Python installation.

Defaults to Python 2.7.9, but this can be configured.

Version

3.0.1

Variables

autologic_python_version: "2.7.9"
autologic_python_manage_deps: true 
autologic_python_manage_path: true
autologic_python_manage_pip: true
autologic_python_manage_virtualenv: true 

Here are some additional variables for fine tuning how setuptools is installed, as well as which version. These can be left alone unless the default version of 14.3.1 becomes critically out of date. We'll be keeping an eye on this, however.

# Used to determine if virtualenv is already installed
autologic_python_virtualenv_creates: "/usr/local/bin/virtualenv"

# Used to determine if Pip is already installed
autologic_python_pip_creates: "/usr/local/bin/pip{{autologic_python_version[:3]}}"

# Used to install and precheck setuptools
autologic_python_setuptools_script: "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py"
autologic_python_setuptools_version: "14.3.1" 
autologic_python_setuptools_creates: "/usr/local/lib/python{{autologic_python_version[:3]}}/site-packages/setuptools-{{autologic_python_setuptools_version}}-py{{autologic_python_version[:3]}}.egg"
