This will allow `pip` and `virtualenv` to be installed correctly on
older RHEL installs.

Adding whyrun support to python LWRP.

COOK-1925: Support SmartOS for Python

[COOK-1866] /usr/bin/ is not pip_binary location when doing a source install on rhel.

[COOK-2297] more gracefully handle pip packages from VCS and source archives

…default_action

Use :install as the default action for python_pip

Add attributes to define the location of the distribute install script and the
package location. This allows independence of external sources that when down,
cause installation of distribute to fail.

Change the `distribute_options_download_base` attribute to
`['distribute_options']['download_base']`.

This fixes the `Chef::Exceptions::ImmutableAttributeModification` which 
is thrown when run on Chef 11+

This also fixes [FC017] in addition to providing better encapsulation.

Checking for a non-zero exit code accomplishes the same thing as
rescuing *::ShellCommandFailed.

The 1.0 branch of test-kitchen is based on Fletcher Nichol's excellent
Jamie CI codebase.

[COOK-4271] Add ability in pip lwrp to send custom env vars

get-pip.py installs setup tools at the start on its own, and then we can just use pip to upgrade/downgrade it as needed.

Closes #74

[COOK-4244] Fix the pip version_check_cmd to use the virtualenv pip when applicable

Closes #26

Before this commit, `python_pip` reinstalled packages that contain underscores in their names.
More details at #91

Fix issue with underscores in package names. Fixes #91

Closes #106.

The versions of `distribute`, `pip`, `setuptools` and `wsgiref` are
excluded from the output of `pip freeze`, however they do show up in the
output from `pip list`. This allows us to use a more general
implentation of parsing the output from `pip list` to get the current
version of all distributions.

Also removes a dependency on `grep`.

Distributions excluded from `pip freeze`:
/pypa/pip/blob/2ad8888901c041b8f9aacebb3a16d55bf631e867/pip/util.py#L372

Fix version detection (setuptools and distribute)

Fixed typo.

Use the correct semantics of upgrade unless version locked.

This reverts commit 9c6d0aa.

Fixed Typo - Update README.md

Also update the test suite to reflect the right python version

fix python install from source to work with chef 12
