Anyone has clue for this question, we have same issue, we are doing
something like:
At one ansible playbook, to collect some local facts, and save those facts
into a file (using copy content), the saved file looks like:
{u'status': u'Installed', u'version': u'1.0.4', u'name': u'apache'}
Later on, there is other ansible playbook will load those facts back in
(using local_vars), even we replace the single quote, the facts file still
cannot be loaded back, because there is leading "u" at each element,
Thanks
Jack
