Need sudo to install pip

[scottsuch]

I'm trying to test this module in Vagrant with CentOS6.5 provided by this box. It seems I'm unable to install pip via this module as it requires sudo.

err: /Stage[main]/Python::Install/Package[python-pip]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install python-pip' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do

Here is the entry in my node's definition.

class { 'python':
    version    => 'system',
    pip        => true,
    dev        => false,
    virtualenv => false,
    gunicorn   => false,
  }

It seems like the installation command just requires sudo prepended and could possibly be a configuration parameter? If I'm missing something obvious please let me know.

EDIT: I'm running puppet agent manually as the vagrant user.

well, puppet generally assumes it's running as root, with full power, so, as vagrant user you should be running

vagrant@vbox ~ % sudo puppet agent -t
...

I am running $ sudo puppet agent .... I am running puppet 2.7.x on this machine as we are a little behind. Is this a known issue with puppet 2.7 perhaps?

I found what I was missing and my apologies for not finding this earlier. I did not have EPEL installed/enabled. Thanks for the awesome module!
