add netaddr library to awx-ee about awx-ee HOT 6 OPEN

This is really sad.... There should be a way to custom specify a requirements.txt with custom python modules/packages (not only collections) and EE could run this on execution time.

BTW, if you create a task inside the playbook that installs a module using pip, it will work withou needing to create a custom EE.... IE:

      - name: pip install netaddr (really disagree how red hat manage their products...). Either I do this or create a custom Execution Enviroment....
        ansible.builtin.shell: pip install netaddr
        delegate_to: 127.0.0.1

Also, please keep in mind that Ansible was initially created to automate network devices! How you do complex automation tasks without netaddr package?

Please, reconsider this

Hi there,
I have a custom awx ee I used for network automation projects that contain the netaddr python module and the ansible.netcommon collection. you can install the image from here AWX EE image

from awx-ee.

This works for me:

1. add line to _build/bindep.txt "python3-netaddr [platform:rpm]"
2. add line to _build/requirements.yml " - name: ansible.netcommon"

from awx-ee.

Sadly your suggestion @liviozanol is not working for me, I have the following warning :

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable.
WARNING: The script netaddr is installed in '/home/runner/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

I just create the custom AWX EE for a temporary solution, feel free to use the images here: Docker Hub

The changes are exactly the same as those made in Pull Request #92.
