Not possible to install latest version of Python

[joshuaspence]

I want to be able to use the default provider (i.e. not provider => 'pip) and still install the latest version of python, python-virtualenv and python-pip. It seems that at the moment it is hardcoded to ensure => 'present'.

An additional observation I had was that it doesn't seem like installing Python 2.7 via pip works anyway. With the following puppet code:

class { 'python':
  provider => 'pip',
}

I get the following error:

err: /Stage[main]/Python::Install/Package[python==system]/ensure: change from absent to latest failed: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/local/bin/pip install -q --upgrade python==system' returned 1: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available.

Setting version => '2.7.10' and I get a different issue:
