Ansible command from inside virtualenv?

Question

This seems like it should be really simple:

tasks:
- name: install python packages
  pip: name=${item} virtualenv=~/buildbot-env
  with_items: [ buildbot ]
- nam         


        

Answer 1

Just run the virtualenvs pip in a shell:

shell: ~/buildbot-env/pip install ${item}

Works like a charm. I have no idea what the pip module does with virtualenvs, but it seems pretty useless.
