Issue #7286 has been updated by Jason Antman.
Daniel, is there any update on this? I'm about to post a thread to puppet-users regarding this. It's seeming to me, after doing some more research, that the current "package" provider is married to system-wide/global packages only (also puppetlabs-nodejs using a native provider for global npm packages and a defined type for local ones seems to substantiate this). I'm starting to believe that this feature may be impossible within the current package type, and would require another type - something specific to packages in isolated/non-system-wide environments. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7286: Add virtualenv support to the pip package provider https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7286#change-101385 * Author: Jonathan Stoppani * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Jason Antman * Category: provider * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: pip virtualenv python package * Branch: https://github.com/SMAC/puppet/tree/feature/master/7286 ---------------------------------------- Now that #6527 is merged into master, it is possible to easily add support for virtualenvs and fully complete #3572. A `virtualenv` argument could be added to the `package` type in order to instrument `pip` to install the requested package into the given virtualenv directory. For example: package { "my-python-package": ensure => latest, provider => pip, virtualenv => "/path/to/virtualenv } The content of the virtualenv parameter will be passed directly to the `--environment` parameter of the `pip install` command Some references: * [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) * [http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html#using-pip-with-virtualenv](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/index.html#using-pip-with-virtualenv) * [https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/pip.rb](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/pip.rb) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
