Ah, sorry I should have said:
module.exit_json(changed=True, failed=False, queueslist=queuesList)
The adds 'queueslist' item to the return data dict with a value of the
queuesList object.
The module will try to serialize the keyword args as a dict, add it to the
rest of the return
object, and print the JSON to stdout. ansible will wrap that up in but the
module by
itself will do that (ie, as invoked by 'test-module')
The module output should look something roughly like:
{
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"src": "/home/ec2-user/ansible/routerconfig.xml"
}
},
"failed": false,
"changed": true,
"queueslist": ["whatever_a_queuesList_serializes_to_item1",
"another_item_in_queueslist"]
}
If I change that line to be:
> module.exit_json(changed=True, failed=False, {'queueslist': output})
>
SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg (<unknown>, line 163)
Same issue as above (ie, my bad example)
Sorry if I'm being dense here. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong,

The next issue will be if queuesList is json serializable or not. If you
get an error about that, you will likely need to
build a simpler object (like a dict) from queuesList to serialize.
