Fix traceback with using GCE on EL6 with python-crypto2.6
This fix resolves an issue on EL6 systems where there may be multiple versions of pycrypto installed. EPEL provides both `python-crypto` and `python-crypto2.6`. These packages are co-installable. However, modules importing the `Crypto` library must specify which version to use, otherwise the default will be used. This change follows the same pattern established in `bin/ansible` for specifying python library requirements. |

ansible-plugins
You can extend ansible with optional callback and connection plugins.
callbacks
Callbacks can be used to add logging or monitoring capability, or just make interesting sound effects.
Drop callback plugins in your ansible/lib/callback_plugins/ directory.
connections
Connection plugins allow ansible to talk over different protocols.
Drop connection plugins in your ansible/lib/runner/connection_plugins/ directory.
inventory
Inventory plugins allow you to store your hosts, groups, and variables in any way you like. Examples include discovering inventory from EC2 or pulling it from Cobbler. These could also be used to interface with LDAP or database.
chmod +x an inventory plugin and either name it /etc/ansible/hosts or use ansible with -i to designate the path to the plugin.
contributions welcome
Send in pull requests to add plugins of your own. The sky is the limit!
