It wasn't doing anything that a literal couldn't do and used
unicode_escape which only understands latin1 (The author of the code
seems to have thought it took an encoding argument but it looks like
that was silently ignored.)
This was reinitialized every time we forked before so we weren't sharing
the same Locks. It also was not accounting for modules which were
directly invoked by an action plugin instead of going through the
strategy plguins.
* Make ziploader's ansible and ansible.module_utils libraries into
namespace packages.
* Move __version__ and __author__ from ansible/__init__ to
ansible/release.py. This is because namespace packages only load one
__init__.py. If that is not the __init__.py with the author and
version info then those won't be available.
* In ziploader, move the version ito ANSIBLE_CONSTANTS.
* Change PluginLoader to properly construct the path to the plugins even
when namespace packages are present.
* extend zypper integration tests
* fix caching issue of local RPMS on openSUSE 42.1 Leap
* add tests for simultaneous install/remove via prefixes +-
* test fail cases (rm patch or URL)
* test patch install (succes, unchanged second run, fail on wrong name)
* add test for pattern install
* Add shared functionality to return list of security group IDs from list of security group names - this functionality can be used by nearly all ec2 modules
* Improved doc string for get_ec2_security_group_ids_from_names function
