how to used pip2.7 as provider in RHEL6

[felipe1982]

RHEL6 provides python2.6. IUS repo provides python27 and python27-pip packages. The latter provides /usr/bin/pip2.7. How do I get this module to call /usr/bin/pip2.7 for installing python packages?

Based on this code:

https://github.com/stankevich/puppet-python/blob/master/manifests/install.pp#L18-L22

It looks like if you set version to be the prefix (IE python27, etc) it may work.

@stankevich this should probably be laid out explicitly in the docs.

I'm not sure that will work because of silly hard-coded paths ::

any progress here? I'm stuck using TracyWebTech/puppet-pip until I"m able to use this module to install and utilise pip2.7 on RHEL6

Honestly all that needs to happen is the pip_env variable needs to allow you to specify pip2 or pip3 and it would pretty much all work just fine. I just ended up building my own defined class that does what I want instead. Sometimes virtual_env isn't necessary, needed, or wanted for system libraries like boto3 installed in python2 on a box that has both (super common problem)
