Appendix: Module Utilities
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *
Ansible provides a number of module utilities that provide helper functions that you can use when developing your own modules. The `` basic.py `` module utility provides the main entry point for accessing the Ansible library, and all Python Ansible modules must, at minimum, import `` AnsibleModule `` ::
from ansible.module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule
If you need to share Python code between some of your own local modules, you can use Ansible's `` module_utils `` directories for this. When you run `` ansible-playbook `` , Ansible will merge any files in the local `` module_utils `` directory into the `` ansible.module_utils `` namespace. For example, if you have your own custom modules that import a `` my_shared_code `` library, you can place that into a `` ./module_utils/my_shared_code.py `` file in the root location where your playbook lives, and then import it in your modules like so::
from ansible.module_utils.my_shared_code import MySharedCodeClient
Your custom `` module_utils `` directories can live in the root directory of your playbook, or in the individual role directories, or in the directories specified by the `` ANSIBLE_MODULE_UTILS `` configuration setting.
Ansible ships with the following list of `` module_utils `` files. The module utility source code lives in the `` ./lib/ansible/module_utils `` directory under your main Ansible path - for more details on any specific module utility, please see the source code.

Meraki organization module (#38773)
* Initial commit
Query an organization within Meraki. No support is in place for managing
or creating yet
* Change output_level method and make the state parameter required.
* Implemented listing all organizations
- Updated documentation
- Parse results and return all organizations
- Parse results and return specified organization
* Framework for creating an organization

- Framework exists for creating organizations, pending PR 36809
- Created functions for HTTP calls
- Renamed from dashboard.meraki.com to api.meraki.com

* Added support for organization cloning
* Renamed use_ssl to use_https
* Removed define_method()
* Removed is_org()

New module: xenserver_guest - manages XenServer VMs (#41041)
* XenServer related modules - initial commit
- New module_util: xenserver. Contains common module arguments, functions
and classes useful for future XenServer related modules.
- New module_docs_fragment: xenserver. Describes common module arguments.
- New module: xenserver_guest. Supports VM deployment, reconfiguration,
removal, detection of changes, state management, fact gathering and
Ansible check mode. Module is fully documented.
- Updated: developing_module_utilities.rst.
- Module params, workflow and some functions are based on or taken from
vmware_guest module.
* Implemented support for configuring custom VM params in xenserver_guest module
* Compatibility fixes and documentation update
- xenserver module_util: implemented support for XenAPI.py version older
than 7.2.
- xenserver module_util: PEP8 fixes.
- xenserver module_util: Added missing imports.
- xenserver module_util: Copyright notice fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: updated module documentation with notes regarding
module requirements and compatibility.
- xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.7.
- xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.
* VM power state management refactoring, subargument specs in xenserver_guest module, other fixes
- VM power state management code moved from xenserver_guest module to xenserver
module_util (set_vm_power_state function).
- Code for waiting for VM IP address moved from xenserver_guest module to
xenserver module_util (wait_for_vm_ip_address function).
- xenserver module_util: implemented get_object_ref function to clean up
a lot of repeated code in xenserver_guest module.
- xenserver module_util: added additional aliases 'host' and 'pool' for
'hostname' common module argument. They are more in line with what
XenServer users are familiar with.
- xenserver module_util: minor fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: removed VM state management other than 'present',
'absent' and 'poweredon'. Other states are to be managed by separate module.
- xenserver_guest module: added subargument specs and cleaned up custom code
for subargument validation.
- xenserver_guest module: reorganized code for disk and network reconfiguation
to minimize code duplication.
- xenserver_guest module: renamed 'cdrom.iso' module argument to
'cdrom.iso_name', avoids cryptic error message when parameter is
missing.
- xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
- xenserver_guest module: changes in error messages.
- xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.
* Implemented guest OS network parameter configuration and other
- xenserver module_util: moved code for validating MAC addresses from
xenserver_guest module and implemented a range of functions for validating
IP addresses and related entities and converting prefixes to netmasks and
vice versa.
- xenserver module_util: updated fact gathering code to support guest OS
network parameters.
- xenserver module_util: added docstrings.
- xenserver module_util: minor changes.

configuration.
- xenserver_guest module: changed CD-ROM handling code.
- xenserver_guest module: changed so that user friendly version of changes
list is always returned in module result.
- xenserver_guest module: error message changes.
- xenserver_guest module: added docstrings.
- xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
- xenserver_guest module: minor changes and fixes.
* Various fixes and code cleanup
- xenserver module_util: implemented get_xenserver_version function.
- xenserver module_util: moved customization agent detection code to
gather_vm_params function. customization_agent variable is now part of
vm_params. An exception in customization agent detection code that prevented
deployment of new VMs is also fixed.
- xenserver module_util: added support for alternative VM state names with
dash and underscore in set_power_state function.
- xenserver_guest module: removed customization agent detection code
as it is now implemented in xenserver module_util.
- xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in xenserver_data update code that
occured when "networks.mac" was not specified in module params and
other fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: some code cleanup.
- xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.8.
