NAME
       easy_install - Installs Python libraries

DESCRIPTION
       Installs Python libraries, optionally in a virtualenv

OPTIONS
       executable
              The explicit executable or a pathname to the executable to be
              used to run easy_install for a specific version of Python
              installed in the system. For example easy_install-3.3, if there
              are both Python 2.7 and 3.3 installations in the system and you
              want to run easy_install for the Python 3.3 installation.(Added
              in Ansible version 1.3.)


       name   A Python library name(required)

       virtualenv
              an optional virtualenv directory path to install into. If the
              virtualenv does not exist, it is created automatically

       virtualenv_command
              The command to create the virtual environment with. For example
              pyvenv, virtualenv, virtualenv2. (default: virtualenv)(Added in
              Ansible version 1.1.)


       virtualenv_site_packages
              Whether the virtual environment will inherit packages from the
              global site-packages directory.  Note that if this setting is
              changed on an already existing virtual environment it will not
              have any effect, the environment must be deleted and newly
              created.  Choices: yes,no. (default: no)(Added in Ansible
              version 1.1.)

NOTES
       Please note that the easy_install module can only install Python
       libraries. Thus this module is not able to remove libraries. It is
       generally recommended to use the pip module which you can first install
       using easy_install.

       Also note that virtualenv must be installed on the remote host if the
       virtualenv parameter is specified.

EXAMPLES
       # Examples from Ansible Playbooks
       - easy_install: name=pip

       # Install Bottle into the specified virtualenv.
       - easy_install: name=bottle virtualenv=/webapps/myapp/venv
