A short example of the hosts.py
contents:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pyventory import Asset, ansible_inventory
class All(Asset):
run_tests = False
use_redis = False
redis_host = 'localhost'
minify = False
version = 'develop'
class Staging(All):
run_tests = True
staging = Staging()
ansible_inventory(locals())
Consider a more complex example which passes the following json output to Ansible.
Run Ansible playbook with the -i hosts.py
key:
ansible-playbook -i hosts.py site.yml
Notice that you need to have your inventory package in PYTHONPATH
