kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.8 674d26de3a feat(lint/role-readme): derive Credits author from meta author SPOT
Role README Credits now name galaxy_info.author (plain bold or wrapped
in a Markdown link), matched byte-for-byte against the role's own
meta/main.yml, instead of a hard-coded maintainer name. Regenerate all
245 role README Credits blocks to the new 'Implemented by ...' format.

# Python Development Utilities
## Description
This Ansible role sets up a Python development environment on Arch Linux. It includes Python itself, the `pip` package manager, and builds on the general developer persona to support scripting, application development, data science, and more.
Learn more at the [Python Official Site](https://www.python.org/), the [Arch Wiki - Python](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python), and [Wikipedia – Python](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)).
## Overview
This role provides the essential tooling for Python developers, enabling immediate use of `python` and `pip` from the command line. It supports both general-purpose scripting and advanced software engineering workflows.
## Purpose
To simplify and standardize the provisioning of Python-ready environments for developers, students, data scientists, and automation engineers.
## Features
- **Installs Python and Pip:** Ensures the interpreter and package manager are available.
- **Prefers Python 3.11+:** Installs Python 3.11+ where available and makes it the default via `/usr/local/bin/python3` and `/usr/local/bin/pip3`.
- **Persona Integration:** Extends `dev-core` with Python-specific tools.
- **Foundation for Further Stacks:** Ideal starting point for Flask, Django, scientific computing, and automation.
Supported distro families in the installer script:
- Arch Linux
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- Fedora
- CentOS / RHEL
## Customization
Easily extend this role with:
- Python virtualenv tools (`python-virtualenv`, `pyenv`)
- Popular libraries (`numpy`, `requests`, `flask`)
- Framework-specific roles (e.g., `dev-python-django`)
