can Pip module install tarballs?

[Giovanni_Torres]

Can ansible’s pip module install from tarballs? The documentation doesn’t indicate that this is an option.

Hi Giovanni!

You can pass the full path to the tarball in the 'name' parameter.

- name: install pip package
  pip:
    name: /path/to/pip/tarball-0.0.1.tar.gz

If you need to transfer it to the host, check the 'copy' module.
