I am using ansible against Ubuntu 16.04 .
The ultimate goal is to use mongodb_user
module.
This requires pymongo
, so this require python-pip
- name: Package prerequisites for pymongo ansible module

force_apt_get: yes

pip:

- debug:

This is actual output; please note:

],
"version": null,
"virtualenv": null
}
The strange thing is that, from command line I got
$ /usr/bin/pip2 -V
pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ /home/mirko/.local/bin/pip -V
pip 18.1 from /home/mirko/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)
I tried to manually upgrade pip after install of python-pip
and got another strange thing: pip do not want to uninstall old pip...
sudo pip install pip --upgrade
[sudo] password for mirko:
The directory '/home/mirko/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

What is the right way to use pip with ansible vs an Ubuntu 16.04?
Must/Can I force ansible to use "my" pip?
Must/Can I deinstall the "wrong" pip?
Have I done something wrong to create this dual-version problem?
Actually I resolved using ubuntu-specific pymongo packages
