+      A list of version-likes or module names to check for installation.
+      Supported operators: <, >, <=, >=, or ==. The bare module name like
+      I(ansible), the module with a specific version like I(boto3==1.6.1), or a
+      partial version like I(requests>2) are all valid specifications.
