An Ansible role to download and install Python from source. Supported distributions are the currently maintained releases of the Red Hat family and derivatives, and Ubuntu LTS. At this time tests are run on Rocky Linux 10, Rocky Linux 9, CentOS Stream 10, CentOS Stream 9, Fedora 43, Fedora 42, Fedora 41, Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 22.04.
None.
The variables that control the role behaviour are listed below with their respective defaults:
python_install_dir: /opt
The base directory of the installation
python_release: 3.13.0
The version of Python to be installed, in x.y.z form.
python_user: python
The owner of the installation.
python_group: python
The installation group.
python_src_dir: /sw/python
The directory where the source archive is downloaded, extracted and built.
python_force: false
When true installation is performed even if a bug fix release of the same minor version was already installed.
Useful to repeat installations after something went wrong or to perform upgrades. Note that setting python_force
to true breaks the role's idempotence.
None.
