The module file itself is the only thing extracted from the zip file (because I could find no portable way to invoke that from the zipfile on all of python-2.4, python-2.6, and python-2.7+). The zipfile is cleaned up as well but if you want access to it (rather than the base64 string that's in the ansiball itself) then what I do is use ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES to keep the ansiball. Then edit the ansiball to keep it around. replace the call to shutil.rmtree(temp_path) with print(temp_path). You can then find the ansible_modlib.zip and script in the temp_path directory.
If you have more questions, feel free to ping me on IRC. I'm abadger1999 there and #ansible-devel is the best place to find me. -Toshio > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
