Description

Installs and configures Python. Also includes LWRPs for managing python packages with pip and virtualenv isolated Python environments.

Requirements

Platform

  • Debian, Ubuntu
  • CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora

Cookbooks

  • build-essential
  • yum

NOTE: The yum 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, default package.

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
  • :upgrade: Upgrade a pip package - if version is provided, upgrade to that specific version
  • :remove: Remove a pip package
  • :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" do
  action :install
end

# target a virtualenv
python_pip "gunicorn" do
  virtualenv "/home/ubunut/my_ve"
  action :install
end

# install Django 1.1.4
python_pip "django" do
  version "1.1.4"
  action :install
end

# use this provider with the core package resource
package "django" do
  provider Chef::Provider::PythonPip
  action :install
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
