Could not retrieve local facts: uninitialized constant Gem

I have installed stankevich-python on my puppet master (Debian Wheezy). In my nodes (Debian Wheezy) [agent] section I have pluginsync=true. While running puppet agent --test this error is show:

info: Retrieving plugin
debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson
debug: Using cached certificate for ca
debug: Using cached certificate for puppet-node

debug: report supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not retrieve local facts: uninitialized constant Gem

After installing rubygems using apt-get it works, but I do not want to install rubygems package on all nodes manually. In addition I have tried to add rubygems package to my module but this does not work too. At the node facter can be run without an error.

Update:
I have installed it using puppet module install stankevich-python. If I clone your repo and compare both lib/facter/pip_version.rb this is the diff:

< require 'rubygems'
< 
< facter_puppet_version = Facter.value(:puppetversion)
< facter_is_pe = Facter.value(:is_pe)
< 
< if facter_is_pe
<     facter_puppet_version = facter_puppet_version.to_s.split(' ')[0]
< end
< 
< if Gem::Version.new(facter_puppet_version) >= Gem::Version.new('3.6')

---
> if Gem::Version.new(Facter.value(:puppetversion)) >= Gem::Version.new('3.6')

Maybe this is the reason for the error? puppet module list shows stankevich-python (v1.7.15)

Update 2:
Now I see that the changes that resolve the problem in commit 82f49a5 are not yet in the actual release.

Sorry for the noise.

Does reverting #146 will be best. It was done due to above referenced issue :)
