Research direction

Start at the python::pyvenv declaration and the generated file resource for /var/www/externalapi/venv. Trace how the existing venv_dir, owner, and recurse values reach that resource, then determine how seltype can be passed through without a duplicate file declaration. Done means the example applies the SELinux type through pyvenv without a redeclare error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'd like to be able to set the SELinux type on my virtualenv, but if I declare a second file directive to do this, I get a redeclare error on the next puppet run.

For example:

file {'externalapi_venv':
  recurse => true,
  path => '/var/www/externalapi/venv',
  seltype => 'httpd_sys_content_rw_t',
}

python::pyvenv { '/var/www/externalapi' :
  ensure       => present,
  version      => '38',
  systempkgs   => true,
  venv_dir     => '/var/www/externalapi/venv',
  owner        => 'jkirsop',
  require => Vcsrepo['/var/www/externalapi/code'],
}

I'm not aware of a way of setting the seltype in a 'clean' way other than doing so through the file class, and so having the ability to do this within the pyvenv class (and then have it filter down to the file class) seems like the most obvious way to me.
