kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.7 afdbd58540 chore(roles): normalize meta platforms + role README Credits, revert GenericLinux drift
* meta/main.yml: replace every prior platforms variant (Linux,
  GenericLinux, Any, Archlinux+rolling/all, distro-specific pins) with
  the canonical 5-distro list (ArchLinux, Debian, EL, Fedora, Ubuntu;
  versions: [all] each).
* lint: merge tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_meta_company_canonical.py
  into tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py and
  add a parallel canonical-platforms exact-value check; one file walk
  enforces both schema conformance and the two project canonical
  exact-values (company block-scalar + platforms 5-distro list).
* roles/<role>/README.md: strip emojis from H1/H2 headings (per
  readme_md.md role rule), normalize the Credits block to the canonical
  wording (Author/Authors/Author Information aliased; canonical block
  appended where absent).
* repo-wide: revert text-drift `GenericLinux` -> `Linux` in role
  description fields, README body prose, vars, j2 templates, and the
  Makefile (87 occurrences). The lint docstring keeps a single
  historical mention.

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.

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)
