The API wasn't really designed to work outside of the context of the ansible CLI utilities (or at least that wasn't a primary concern). As such, TaskQueueManager expects you to pass in something that works like an optparse options object.
The example uses a named tuple, as that is easiest. The items in that documentation for namedtuple are the minimum required to satisfy the API. Any settings outside of what is mentioned in that namedtuple can be passed via other means. Since you have mentioned you use extra_vars to pass in things like connection, you would just need to mimic the defaults of the options in optparse for the ansible clis. extra_vars would then override it. So something like: options = Options(connection='ssh', ...) extra_vars = dict(ansible_connection=winrm, ...) Hope that makes sense, basically you have to give an options that satisfies the API (What the code is expecting). If you override via extra_vars, then so be it, but you still need to supply, even if different, those options in the options namedtuple.
