test-module is useful but sometimes you want to edit the
result before running it to e.g. set a debug point.
Added a noexecute option (i.e. just create the module script, don't
run it) and an output option to choose the filename of the result.
Default python interpreter to the same interpreter the test-module
script is executed with. This is so that the interpreter doesn't have
to be specified twice in the command when using non-default python
(e.g. ``/path/to/python ./hacking/test-module -I python=/path/to/python ...``)
to be reused between modules. See library/system/service and library/system/ping for initial examples. Can
work the old way to just import 'basic', or can import the new way to import multiple pieces of code from
module_utils/.
Add constant DEFAULT_MODULE_LANG that defaults to C. Can be set via
environment variable ANSIBLE_MODULE_LANG or configuration variable
module_lang. Updated test-module to have same behavior.
Update constants.py so that one can specify environmental variable
ANSIBLE_SYSLOG_FACILITY or syslog_facility in ansible.cfg to define
the syslog facility to use. Alternatively, you can specify
ansible_syslog_facility in inventory. Runner now replaces
the syslog facility in the openlog() call with the default or
the injected variables ansible_syslog_facility.
This also updates hacking/test-module to behave similarly.
should be a huge reduction of total ansible source, at a slight cost of difficulty in original module development.
We need to apply this now to all modules, but may need to have some exemptions to things like command, which should
subclass this module.
