Hi,

I am new to AWX and trying to fulfil a requirement of showing running configuration of a device using AWX. I have the project , inventory and job template defined. But when i run the job, it’s not executing python script as given in the YML file.

Anyone guide me on the steps of AWX for a python script execution.

My need is to automate in python and run the python in AWX job.

Thanks in Advance,  
Krishna Prasad J V

You can execute using script and call python or bonus points. Translate the python script to a native ansible module.
