One man. One mission. Configure a Vagrant machine with Ansible for use as a Python development environment.
I have attempted to provision a Vagrant machine with Ansible.
I set up my directory structure for it according to the instructions outlined here: https://danielgroves.net/notebook/2014/05/development-environments/
Everything went swimmingly, as shown in the initial part of the response to "vagrant up":
$vagrant up

Ultimately, the goal is to get set up for GAE work in Vagrant, with Ansible for automatic provisioning. (This may or may not be a good idea.)

How do I get Ansible to install pip on my Vagrant box?
Really any python provisioning will work.
I have read through the documentation or playbooks and easy_install.
For those worried about the lack of an inventory file, Vagrant creates one on its own. Vagrantup.com has a page on this, which I will post if I get the reputation necessary for it.
I'll go back through this question and revise it after I have thought about this a bit more.
