Issue #17030 has been updated by Adrien Thebo.

Assignee deleted (eric sorenson)
Branch set to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1486

To copy the discussion from #15980, on Redhat the pip binary can be one of two 
things:

1. If pip was installed via epel, it's named `pip-python`.
1. If pip was installed via easy_install, it's named `pip`.

 Related is that there's a perl project that also installs a `pip` binary, per 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616626 . This is unlikely but 
something to be aware of.

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1486 resolved this by trying to use 
`pip` and then falling back to `pip-python`. Is this behavior that we want to 
use on all platforms?

Bug #17030: pip provider should handle multiple pips/pythons
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17030#change-83538

Author: Bradley Kreider

The Pip provider should provide a way to specify the path to pip.  This would 
allow people to manage multiple python installs, by point to the one they want 
to install into.  

In RHEL, this makes it easy to have a non-system python installed somewhere 
(ie: 2.7 or 3.x) and let puppet manage the python packages.

This is related to bug #15980.  (related in the way that if you could provide 
the path to the pip binary, 15980 would have a workaround).
