Hi, 

I am using the pip module to install python dependencies. What I am trying 
to achieve is - 

To be able to define the dependencies in one of the vars_files as follows

```
pydeps:
  - name: requests
    virtualenv: /tmp/testvenv
  - name: boto
    editable: yes
  - requirements: /tmp/requirements.txt
    virtualenv: /tmp/anothertestenv
```

Basically, the fields in the above list of dicts can be any valid options 
accepted by the pip module - http://docs.ansible.com/pip_module.html. 
Those options that are not required can be omitted just like they can be 
omitted when specifying the args to the module.

And then in tasks,

```
    - name: Install using pip
      pip: "{% for k, v in item.items() %}{{ k }}={{ v }} {% endfor %}"
      with_items: pydeps
``` 

However, this fails with the following error:

```
TASK: [Install using pip] 
*****************************************************
fatal: [localhost] => A variable inserted a new parameter into the module 
args. Be sure to quote variables if they contain equal signs (for example: 
"{{var}}").

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
```

None of the fields contain an equal sign.

I have also tried the following:

```
    - name: Install using pip
      pip: >
        name={{ item.name }}
        {{ 'chdir='~item.chdir if item.get('chdir') else '' }}
        {{ 'virtualenv='~item.virtualenv if item.get('virtualenv') else '' 
}}
        # ... and so on 
      with_items: pydeps
```

But it also fails with the same error if any of the key is missing for an 
item.
    
What's the correct way to do this? 

Thanks
