Possible to pin versions installed via extra_packages? #20

Closed davidski closed 9 years ago

davidski commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to use extra_packages to install specific versions of packages into the ipython virtualenv? I was recently bit when a fresh environment I spun up grabbed a newer version of a client lib with different behavior. I'd like to ensure that I'm getting specific versions in the ipython virtual env.

You sure can. It gets installed via pip, the same way the :scientific_stack list is setup.

To be honest, I definitely don't use this cookbook anymore (even though I know that a handful of folks are). I'm open to pull requests to help bring this forward as I would probably not setup a system in this way anymore (this was overreaching).

Thanks for the quick response! I didn't realize the python_pip resource didn't require a separate version property and would instead respect the foo==1.2.3 syntax. Doh!

Thanks for your contributions in creating this cookbook. It does the job for my current needs. :)
