[FIX] option to select default pip3 executable

README.md

@@ -20,6 +20,9 @@ This role uses the apt package manager on Debian based hosts.
 But for some operating systems the `ansible_os_family` variable is not set to "Debian" by the fact gathering even if it is Debian based (like Mendel GNU/Linux on the Google Coral Dev Board).
 - `override_os_family`: Set to "Debian" in the host inventory, if `ansible_os_family` is not set correctly
 
+On macOS, it might be needed to specify the full path to the pip3 executable:
+- `override_pip_exe`: Set a custom pip executable (default: n.a.)
+
 The User Setup will change the user shell and global gitconfig. This can be disabled:
 - `usersetup_chsh`: Boolean to enable changing the user shell to zsh (default: true)
 - `usersetup_gitconfig`: Boolean to disable overriding the global gitconfig (default: true)
