Hi,

I have a remote machine (Target Board) if one may say for which I need to perform various tests through Ansible, we do not want Python to be installed on the Target board, is there anyway where we can do away with not installing Python and still have ansible working.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,  
Anirudh

only the ‘raw’ module will work.
