isolated Python environments.
Requirements
Platform
- Debian, Ubuntu
- CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora

cookbook is a dependency of the cookbook, and will be used to install EPEL on RedHet/CentOS 5.x systems to provide the Python 2.6 packages.
Attributes
See attributes/default.rb
for default values.
-
node["python"]["install_method"]
- method to install python with, defaultpackage
.
The file also contains the following attributes:
- platform specific locations and settings.
- source installation settings
Resource/Provider
This cookbook includes LWRPs for managing:
- pip packages
- virtualenv isolated Python environments
python_pip
Install packages using the new hotness in Python package management...pip
. Yo dawg...easy_install is so 2009, you better ask your local Pythonista if you don't know! The usage semantics are like that of any normal package provider.
Actions
- :install: Install a pip package - if version is provided, install that specific version (default)
- :upgrade: Upgrade a pip package - if version is provided, upgrade to that specific version
- :remove: Remove a pip package
- :user: User to run pip as, for using with virtualenv
- :group: Group to run pip as, for using with virtualenv
- :purge: Purge a pip package (this usually entails removing configuration files as well as the package itself). With pip packages this behaves the same as
:remove
Attribute Parameters
- package_name: name attribute. The name of the pip package to install
- version: the version of the package to install/upgrade. If no version is given latest is assumed.
- virtualenv: virtualenv environment to install pip package into
- options: Add additional options to the underlying pip package command
- timeout: timeout in seconds for the command to execute. Useful for pip packages that may take a long time to install. Default 900 seconds.
Example
# install latest gunicorn into system path
python_pip "gunicorn"
# target a virtualenv
python_pip "gunicorn" do
virtualenv "/home/ubunut/my_ve"
end
# install Django 1.1.4
python_pip "django" do
version "1.1.4"
end
# use this provider with the core package resource
package "django" do
provider Chef::Provider::PythonPip
end
python_virtualenv
virtualenv
is a great tool that creates isolated python environments. Think of it as RVM without all those hipsters and tight jeans.
Actions
- :create: creates a new virtualenv
- :delete: deletes an existing virtualenv
Attribute Parameters
- path: name attribute. The path where the virtualenv will be created
- interpreter: The Python interpreter to use. default is
python2.6
- owner: The owner for the virtualenv
- group: The group owner of the file (string or id)
- options : Command line options (string)
Example
# create a 2.6 virtualenv owned by ubuntu user
python_virtualenv "/home/ubuntu/my_cool_ve" do
owner "ubuntu"
group "ubuntu"
action :create
end
# create a Python 2.4 virtualenv
python_virtualenv "/home/ubuntu/my_old_ve" do
interpreter "python2.4"
owner "ubuntu"
group "ubuntu"
action :create
end
# create a Python 2.6 virtualenv with access to the global packages owned by ubuntu user
python_virtualenv "/home/ubuntu/my_old_ve" do
owner "ubuntu"
group "ubuntu"
options "--system-site-packages"
action :create
end
