puppet not install the latest version of pip

[twmht]

Hi,

I am trying to install latest pip (7.1.2) from puppet 3.8.4.

class { 'python' :
    version     => 'system',
    pip         => 'latest',
    dev         => 'latest',
    virtualenv  => 'present',
    gunicorn    => 'present',
 }

But it only installed very old version (1.5.4).

Is something wrong?

Thank you!

This is because the module is installing the python-pip package from the OS repo. I think it would be good to have an option to use the newest version from here: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

Edit: I just looked at the latest version and it looks like it does allow you to install the latest version of pip here (in manifests/install.pp):

  case $python::provider {
    pip: {
      # Install pip without pip, see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/.
      exec { 'bootstrap pip':
        command => '/usr/bin/curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python',
        unless  => '/usr/bin/which pip',
        require => Package['python'],
      }

      # Puppet is opinionated about the pip command name
      file { 'pip-python':
        ensure  => link,
        path    => '/usr/bin/pip-python',
        target  => '/usr/bin/pip',
        require => Exec['bootstrap pip'],
      }

      Exec['bootstrap pip'] -> File['pip-python'] -> Package <| provider == pip |>

      Package <| title == 'pip' |> {
        name     => 'pip',
        provider => 'pip',
      }
      Package <| title == 'virtualenv' |> {
        name     => 'virtualenv',
        provider => 'pip',
      }
    }
