I had a look at this at some point but what I really dislike about
Hammer as an API is that the JSON output is also capitalized and
inconsistent. Ended up with large mappings and quickly gave up. Maybe I
missed something and it can be done easily.

Here's a radical thought, use Hammer...
Ansible modules do not have to be written in Python[2], although Ansible
does provide some nice shortcuts with Python, all that is really required
is JSON output... Some Ruby examples [1]
A couple of things to note if we were to entertain going down this route;
- How does DOCUMENTATION work for non-python modules? I played around for a
bit, but couldn't get ansible-doc to work..
- If the goal is to get them into Ansible core, will they accept Ruby
modules? Looking at Ansible core I think all the modules are python...

So far we've only used python-foreman in a few different projects, one to
configure Foreman based on a YAML file. We use python-foreman to resolve
the
IDs first thus the actual names of the templates, etc. can be used. Working
with the lib is nice but it still needs some glue because the API is
inconsistent and doing a lookup for the ID is not aligned for all
resources.
I have no experience with nailgun but from my point of view dependencies
are
not that big of a deal when provided as proper packages. E.g. to use the
Ansible mysql_db module you require python-mysqldb.
I'd love to switch to an upstream Ansible module to configure Foreman and
improve our existing playbooks.
Thanks for all the hard work so far!
