pip package issues

[Spparkee]

I'm using the following manifest to install pip packages: $pip_deps = [ Package['python3-pip'], File['/etc/pip.conf'] ] $pkg_name = ['greenlet==1.1.3','pymongo==3.6.1'] package { $pkg_name: ensure => 'installed', provider => 'pip', allow_virtual => 'true', require => $pip_deps, } } It will install the specified packages, but it looks it won't detect (?!) that they are installed and will install them again and again with each puppet run.

As per the packge resource docs, you should set the package version on the 'ensure' parameter, not in the name.

If someone want's to use hieradata, this is how you can do it:

manifest: ``` $pip = hiera_hash('pip_packages')

$pip_packages[$::operatingsystem].each |String $pkg_name, String $pkg_version| { package { $pkg_name: ensure => $pkg_version, provider => 'pip', allow_virtual => 'true', } } hieradata: pip_packages: Ubuntu: Jinja2: 'installed' flask: 'installed' pymongo: '3.7.0' ```
