Salt: Installing python3 module(s) via pip3 using salt?

[siemprepeligroso]

Description of Issue/Question

I tried to install a python3 module via pip3 using salt, but I failed miserably. I am not sure whether this functionality is supported by saltstack at all, can you confirm please?

Setup

python-pip:
  pkg.installed

paramiko:
  pip.installed:
    - name: paramiko
    - require:
      - pkg: python-pip

python3-pip:
  pkg.installed

paramiko3:
  pip3.installed:
    - name: paramiko
    - require:
      - pkg: python3-pip

Steps to Reproduce Issue

In the my recipe I executed the code snippet from above. The first part executed fine and paramiko fro python was installed. However, I did not manage to install paramiko for python3 via pip

Hi,

the pip3 state doesn't exist but you can install pip3 modules with the following recipe:

python-pip:
  pkg.installed:
    - pkgs:
      - python-pip
      - python3-pip

paramiko3:
  pip.installed:
    - name: paramiko
    - bin_env: '/usr/bin/pip3'
    - require:
      - pkg: python-pip

You need python-pip package for salt minion.
It works on salt-minion 2015.8, I didn't tested on salt-minion 0.17.5.

@Da-Juan would it be much of an hassle to you to commend out the lines in the recipe above, and tell what they do?

Here a commented version :)

# Install python-pip packages (version 2 and 3)
# version 2 is needed for salt-minion's pip_state
python-pip:
  pkg.installed:
    - pkgs:
      - python-pip
      - python3-pip

paramiko3:
  # Install using pip
  pip.installed:
    # The pip module we want to install
    - name: paramiko
    # Absolute path to a virtual environment directory or absolute path to a pip executable
    # We want to install python3 paramiko so we use pip3 here
    - bin_env: '/usr/bin/pip3'
    # Require python-pip state to be run before this one
    - require:
      - pkg: python-pip

I tried the suggested solution and I get the following error:

    State: - pip
    Name:      paramiko
    Function:  installed
        Result:    False
        Comment:   The following requisites were not found:
                   require:
                       pkg: python-pip

        Changes: 

I'd assume the reason is that I do not have python-pip and python3-pip pkgs under the python-pip id declaration.
can you confirm?

[Da-Juan]

Yes if python-pip and python3-pip are installed under another state id you need to require this id to ensure that they are installed before paramiko.
