pip install list of packages

[Dick Visser]

Hi

If I'm using pip with name being a list of packages, for instance:

- name: Install stuff
pip:
name:
- pyyaml
- natsort
- passlib

Then the module will do "pip install pyyaml natsort passlib", and not:

pip install pyyaml
pip install natsort
pip install passlib


Is this assumption correct?

Hi Dick,

From my experience, it does the latter.

I'm doing this:
    - name: Install Python packages
      pip:
        name: "{{ item.name }}"
        version: "{{ item.version }}"
        executable: pip2
      become: yes
      with_items:
        - { name: 'alembic', version: '1.1.0' }
        - { name: 'aniso8601', version: '7.0.0' }
        - { name: 'anyjson', version: '0.3.3' }
        - { name: 'articleDateExtractor', version: '0.20' }

And it pip installs every one of them separately.

It seems that I was wrong.
Ansible runs each of my iterations as a different command because I'm using with_items.

Yes, I noticed that.
So that is the distinction then.
I guess this is similar to the apt/package/etc modules, where you are
encouraged to use a list for 'name' so that the package manager can
install the whole lot in one go.

thx
