Scope(Class[Python]): Could not look up qualified variable '::python::install::valid_versions'; class ::python::install has not been evaluated

I just hit this as well. The python class would have to inherit from python::install in order for this to work. What a PR be accepted to impliment the base class inherients from foo::params pattern?

You define a variable as "::python::install::valid_version" https://github.com/stankevich/puppet-python/blob/master/manifests/install.pp#L18
But use as "::python::install::valid_versions" https://github.com/stankevich/puppet-python/blob/master/manifests/init.pp#L73

The puppet compiler warns about it: Could not look up qualified variable '::python::install::valid_versions'

This module definitely need a python::params class to mitigate this problem (fixing the typo in :python::install::valid_version is not fixing the problem)

[regeda]

names are different:
variable name "::python::install::valid_version" without "s" in the end
but you include it with "s" in the end as "::python::install::valid_versions"

[gregsio]

Even when correcting the typo for variable ::python::install::valid_versions you still can't access the variable ::python::install::valid_versions because the class ::python::install has not been evaluated yet.

Class ::python needs to inherits from python::install, but then you run into the same type of problem with the python::install class which needs class ::python to be evaluated first as well...

In order to mitigate these circular issues the proper way is to to create a ::python::params class and have class python inherits python::params
