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
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is a list of ``module_utils`` files and a general description. 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.
