Role Variables

pip_install_packages: A list of packages to install with the pip module. Set it to [] if no packages are required.

All available options used in the pip module can be used. Set it exactly the same as the pip module, e.g.

pip_install_packages:
  - name: virtualenv
  - name: pyyaml
    state: present
  - ...

Notes:

executable by default uses the pip executable version being installed (a.k.a. pip_version). This can be overridden by providing the pip executable.
executable will always attempt to use the setuptools for the version of Ansible running in the remote machine (see this issue). This role will ensure this is covered by following the table below:

Local Python	Remote Python	Executable	Requirements
2	2	2	None
2	2	3	Installs setuptools for Python 2
2	3	3	None
2	3	2	Installs setuptools for Python 3
3	2	2	None
3	2	3	Installs setuptools for Python 2
3	3	3	None
3	3	2	Installs setuptools for Python 3
