kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.7 c52e4269bf chore(tooling): integrate mbake (Makefile linter/formatter) + working-tree drift sync
Makefile lint integration:
* scripts/install/lint.sh: replace the prior checkmake binary install with
  ensure_mbake (mbake is pip-installable, parses our Makefile correctly
  whereas checkmake bailed on .ONESHELL: / .SHELLFLAGS: / ifneq).
* scripts/lint/makefile.sh: new runner — `mbake format --check Makefile`
  reports formatting drift and missing .PHONY declarations.
* scripts/lint/autoformat.sh: add a two-pass `mbake format Makefile`
  (mbake's formatter is not strictly idempotent on the first pass).
* Makefile: split the multi-line `.PHONY:` block into 18 single-line
  `.PHONY:` declarations so mbake's parser can validate it; add the
  previously-missing `install-python-dev` and `build-dependency` PHONY
  targets; add `lint-makefile` aggregate-and-direct target.
* .pre-commit-config.yaml: new make-lint-makefile hook scoped to
  `^Makefile$`.
* .github/workflows/lint-makefile.yml: new CI workflow (pip-install mbake
  + make lint-makefile).
* .github/workflows/ci-orchestrator.yml: wire lint-makefile into
  lint-gate.needs.

Misc:
* .gitignore: add roles/importer_result.json (tooling artefact written by
  galaxy-importer when it runs in roles/).

Plus working-tree drift across roles/, group_vars/, inventories/, and
tasks/ that accumulated from the make-test setup phase regenerating
generated artefacts during recent test runs.

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, 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)
