I'm trying to create an external file that every single task (Python modules
for which I've implemented) in the playbook should read from and write into
some information.
I wanted to use the process ID for the playbook itself but I'm not sure how to
fetch this information from within the module itself i.e. the python script
itself.
$PPID keeps changing as evidenced by the following playbook.
Untitled.png
the value for the PPID was
"stdout": "2850132"
"stdout": "2850343"
the 1st and 2nd times respectively. Is there any value like a process ID or
something similar that is
1. Unique to this instance of the playbook run ?
2. Accessible to the module's underlying python script ?
3. Without involving use of psutil or any package that doesn't come as part of
Python 3.X

That's sound like an awkward and fragile approach to me. Why would you use the
process ID as unique value?
An UUID (see to_uuid filter) would be definitely unique.
