Hi, I''m currently in the process of writing my first puppet script and I''ve hit a a problem with the pip package provider. It seems like the puppet pip provider is looking for executable by the name of ''pip'' but under Centos 6, the executable goes by the name ''pip-python''. While I can probably hack a workaround in, I''m curious if there is a preferred method of doing this? Should I try and extend the pip provider, create something akin to an alias or do something else entirely? I''m using the Puppet 3.0.1 release and Centos 6.3 for what it''s worth. Thanks for any advice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I alluded to hacky workarounds in the OP - the below is what I''m
currently
using. It seems to work OK in a very non portable manner
file { ''/usr/bin/pip'':
ensure => ''link'',
target => ''/usr/bin/pip-python'',
}
It would be great to hear if anyone knows of a preferred way to go about
this. I''m very new to puppet but not afraid to get my hands dirty,

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/pip.rb
this is pip''s source file.
in the end, you can see this
private
def lazy_pip(*args)
pip *args
rescue NoMethodError => e
if pathname = which(''pip'')
self.class.commands :pip => pathname
pip *args
else
raise e, ''Could not locate the pip command.''
end
end
other functions call lazy_pip to install or uninstall packages.
and lazy_pip use which to find where is the ''pip'' command.

Yeah, I saw that function. Is there a way I can extend the class and override that method for my own use? Or will I need to make the fix myself and submit a pull request?

I''ve created another pull request that''s a little more flexible than your version. If some other OS uses a different name for pip then it can easily be added to the case statement. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1346 On Wednesday, December 19, 2012 10:41:16 PM UTC-8, Joshua Vote wrote:> > If anyone else is watching this issue: the pull request has been made and > attached to issue - http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18236 > > On Wednesday, December 19, 2012 9:58:06 AM UTC+8, Jakov Sosic wrote: >> >> On 12/18/2012 09:39 AM, Joshua Vote wrote: >> > Yeah, I saw that function.
