Python software, such as youtube-dl, is currently installed as pip install --user, which entails some complications. In the idea of having software (installed with this Ansible role) updated automatically, that software should be installed globally on the system.

Similar issues:

  • Pyenv might be difficult to install globally as it's basically a user-space clone of a Git repository. All installed Pythons are created in that tree.
  • Needs investigation whether Pythons can be created outside the repository location (e.g. when we're cloning the repo in /opt/pyenv/).
  • Also, the pyenv configuration should be created globally or by something like the userdefaults script.
