Starting in November 2019, IIAB's Ansible installer ([/opt/iiab/iiab/scripts/ansible](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/scripts/ansible)) began installing these python3-* apt packages, in support of the following Ansible modules:

1. Ansible module: [pip](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/pip_module.html)

   IIAB installs apt packages:
   - **python3-pip** (for `pip3 install ansible-core` & IIAB's [Admin Console](https://github.com/iiab/iiab-admin-console))
   - **python3-setuptools**
   - **virtualenv** (is Python 3 only, for [roles/kalite](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/tree/master/roles/kalite) & [roles/calibre-web](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/tree/master/roles/calibre-web) ?) and pulls in additional packages... (`apt show virtualenv` shows "Depends: python3, python3-virtualenv")
      - **python3-virtualenv** and pulls in additional package... (`apt show python3-virtualenv` shows "Depends: python-pip-whl (>= 8.1.1-2), python3, python3-distutils, python3-pkg-resources") 
         - **python3-distutils**
   - **python3-venv** for Good Measure?

2. Ansible modules: [mysql_db](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/mysql_db_module.html) and [mysql_user](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/mysql_user_module.html) (for [roles/mysql](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/tree/master/roles/mysql))

   IIAB installs apt package:

3. Ansible modules: [postgresql_db](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/postgresql_db_module.html) and [postgresql_dbuser](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/postgresql_user_module.html)
