That is helpful, but would it be possible to have two sets of argument_spec for more complicated differences in the parameters?
example pseudocode for module: argument_spec1=dict(...) argument_spec2=dict(...) # get version from YAML # pass corresponding argument_spec to AnsibleModule based on version It seems like it's not possible with the standard module, but it would be helpful if there was a way. > On 10 Jul 2020, at 06:56, Rory G <roryg...@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I'm new to Ansible and a writing a few python network modules.
