pip package performing install on every run with underscore in name

[tindelli]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 8
• Ruby: 3.2.9
• Distribution: Debian 13 (client/agent)
• Module version: 8.0.0
• Python 3.13 (system packages)
• pip 25.3

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Using hiera:

python::python_pyvenvs:
  '/opt/venv':
    version: '3.13'
python::python_pips:
  'astropy_healpix':
    virtualenv: '/opt/venv'
    ensure: latest
python::venv: present
python::version: '3.13'

What are you seeing

pip install is run on every puppet run:

What behaviour did you expect instead

pip install should not be run if the latest version is already installed.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Based on the comments in manifests/pip.pp, it looks like pip freeze used to replace underscores with dashes. That seems to no longer be the case beginning in pip 21.2.

Seems a weird change between 21.13 and 21.2 ?

But yes - https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/news/#id573
