Deprecation: Easy Install Resource (CHEF-6)
The Python community recommends that users prefer pip rather than easy_install to install python packages.
The easy_install resource was deprecated in Chef Client 12.10, and will be removed in Chef Client 13.
The Cookstyle cop ChefDeprecations/EasyInstallResource has been introduced to detect this deprecation.
Remediation
There is no built-in replacement for easy_install in Chef Infra Client at this time.
