|
Please note that the easy_install command can only install Python libraries.
|
|
Thus this module is not able to remove libraries. It is generally recommended to
|
|
use the :ref:`pip` module which you can first install using easy_install.
|
|
|
|
Also note that `virtualenv <http://www.virtualenv.org/>`_ must be installed on
|
|
the remote host if the `virtualenv` parameter is specified.
|
|
|
|
Example action from Ansible :doc:`playbooks`::
|
|
|
|
easy_install name=pip
|
|
easy_install name=flask==0.8
|
|
easy_install name=flask virtualenv=/srv/webapps/my_app/venv
