Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for the update. It helps a lot, thank you very much.
Indeed, I have chosen your second option as it is easier to maintain and
avoid any conflict with other systems. The inifile.py is too big to be
included in the custom module but I would not do this as I wouldn't be able
to re-utilise it.
Here is how I did it:
In my playbook or role:
tasks:
- name: Upload python module
copy: src=library/inifile.py dest=/tmp/inifile.py
In my custom module:
import sys
sys.path.append('/tmp')
from inifile import IniFile
And to answer your question, what I am trying to achieve here is an
extension to the ini_file module in Ansible. The current module doesn't
answer my needs such as:
- setting easily a continious list of options such as:
- whitelist.0 = item1
- whitelist.1 = item2
- whitelist.2 = item3
- checking and replacing a list of options (such as ["ower", "owne"]) by
one option name ("owner")
- Dealing with options that doesn't have section (generally mean that
this is default to all sections)
- Dealing with empty name section ([]) and comments - this one I am less
sure about but I know that the ConfigParser cannot handle this.
Thank you again for your precious help.
Regards,
Olivier
