Ensure pip is available
This role is intended install the requirements for the pip module on hosts.
Jobs that also wish to call pip via shell commands
directly can also use this to ensure pip is available.
However, it should be noted that calling pip is ambiguous
when supporting many platforms. On some platforms it may install the
package under the Python 2 interpreter and in others Python 3. You
should use a qualified name (pip2 or pip3) to
avoid confusion.
This role will also install wheel components sufficient
to run bdist_wheel builds or pip wheel on a
source tree.
