How to set vars into ansible inventory?

问题

In playbook I'm using variable {{excluded_service}}. I want to run ansible playbook from python and provide this variable. And I can't use external inventory script to provide this variable. I am using to create inventory:

hosts = ["127.0.0.1"]
inventory=ansible.inventory.Inventory(hosts)

but I don't understand where I can add value of variable?

My code, that works with external inventory script:

import sys
import os
import stat
import json

import ansible.playbook
import ansible.constants as C
import ansible.utils.template
from ansible import errors
from ansible import callbacks
from ansible import utils
from ansible.color import ANSIBLE_COLOR, stringc
from ansible.callbacks import display

playbook="/opt/RDE/3p/ansible/loop/testloop.yml"
inventory="/opt/RDE/3p/ansible/loop/lxc.py"
connection="local"
timeout=10
subset=None

options={'subset': None, 'ask_pass': False, 'sudo': False, 'private_key_file': None, 'syntax': None, 'skip_tags': None, 'diff': False, 'check': False, 'remote_user': 'root', 'listtasks': None, 'inventory': '/opt/RDE/3p/ansible/loop/lxc.py', 'forks': 5, 'listhosts': None, 'start_at': None, 'tags': 'all', 'step': None, 'sudo_user': None, 'ask_sudo_pass': False, 'extra_vars': [], 'connection': 'smart', 'timeout': 10, 'module_path': None}
sshpass = None
sudopass = None
extra_vars = {}



def colorize(lead, num, color):
    """ Print 'lead' = 'num' in 'color' """
    if num != 0 and ANSIBLE_COLOR and color is not None:
        return "%s%s%-15s" % (stringc(lead, color), stringc("=", color), stringc(str(num), color))
    else:
        return "%s=%-4s" % (lead, str(num))

def hostcolor(host, stats, color=True):
    if ANSIBLE_COLOR and color:
        if stats['failures'] != 0 or stats['unreachable'] != 0:
            return "%-37s" % stringc(host, 'red')
        elif stats['changed'] != 0:
            return "%-37s" % stringc(host, 'yellow')
        else:
            return "%-37s" % stringc(host, 'green')
    return "%-26s" % host   


inventory = ansible.inventory.Inventory(options['inventory'])


hosts = ["127.0.0.1"]



#inventory=ansible.inventory.Inventory(hosts)

inventory.subset(options['subset'])
if len(inventory.list_hosts()) == 0:
    raise errors.AnsibleError("provided hosts list is empty")

    playbook_cb.step = options['step']

    playbook_cb.start_at = options['start_at']



runner_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(stats, verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)
pb = ansible.playbook.PlayBook(
            playbook=playbook,
            module_path=None,

回答1:

Specify the vars in a host_vars file? E.g. create a YAML file named /etc/ansible/host_vars/localhost with the vars you wanna put there.

I don't know, yet, how to specify it in Python code itself.

--- update ---

After a quick look the code, I don't think ansible supports specifying host variables when you specify hosts via host_list parameter. Hacks I can think of (if you must do this in python code) are:

• [mis]use extra_vars parameter.
• Write an inventory file (YAML or executable that just prints required JSON) from your python code and pass it's path as parameter inventory.
