Package names like 'Django==1.5.12' not supported

[jblaine]

Is this syntax for packages supported (and therefore something is going unintentionally wrong), or do I need to break the version information out into a different attribute and use a version property on the resource?

Yep, you need to use it like a normal package resource:

python_package 'Django' do
  version '1.5.12'
end

Or if you want to drive it from attributes:

python_package node['r701-hostdb']['django']['packages'].keys do
  version node['r701-hostdb']['django']['packages'].values
end

And then put things like {"Django": "1.5.12"} in the node data.

Going to reopen this actually since I could probably support it. But not on my immediate to-do list :)
