EPEL7 python-pip package is called python2-pip; puppet-python won't recognize that it is installed

In EPEL7, the python-pip package is called python2-pip. It is aliased to python-pip, so it can be installed with yum install python-pip, but then running yum list python-pip returns No matching Packages.

This causes some problems when puppet-python tries to install the pip package:

Error: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y list python-pip' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list
Error: /Stage[main]/Python::Install/Package[pip]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y list python-pip' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list
Notice: /Stage[main]/Python/Anchor[python::end]: Dependency Package[pip] has failures: true
Warning: /Stage[main]/Python/Anchor[python::end]: Skipping because of failed dependencies

Is there a workaround for this? I tried to figure out if there was a way that I could force puppet-python to look for python2-pip instead of python-pip but I couldn't see that as a configurable option.

I'm running CentOS 7.2.

I fixed this by setting python::version to python27 and python::provider to scl.

Sounds like we need to change the name of the package.
