bf9c5be173 capped the bootstrap at 3.14 with constants inside install.sh, a
second copy of the range pyproject.toml already declares. requires-python is
now the single source (>=3.11,<3.15): install.sh derives its floor and cap
from it, in the repository or, on a remote host where the script runs alone,
from INFINITO_PYTHON_REQUIRES that the dev-python role reads from the same
file; any other form fails loudly. The Dockerfile copies pyproject.toml
before the bootstrap, and pip now refuses 3.15 for the package as well.

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, the Arch Wiki - Python, and Wikipedia – Python.
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.
Cosmos
The diagram places Python Development Utilities in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.
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/python3and/usr/local/bin/pip3. - Persona Integration: Extends
dev-corewith 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)
