Hello,

I have a playbook.yml which outputs password, please see this task:

`

tasks:

- name: get  
command: echo {{ test\_password }}  
register: result

- debug: var=result.stdout\_lines

`

I run this playbook in python script:

`

def run\_playbook():  
stats = callbacks.AggregateStats()  
playbook\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookCallbacks(  
verbose=ansible.utils.VERBOSITY)  
runner\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(  
stats, verbose=ansible.utils.VERBOSITY)  
pb = PlayBook(playbook=‘playbook.yml’,  
stats=stats,  
callbacks=playbook\_cb,  
runner\_callbacks=runner\_cb,  
check=True,  
vault\_password=‘abcd’)  
pb.run()

`

`Print pb`

returns an object, but I fail to figure out how to return the content of password so I can use it in the python script for the authentication.  
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,  
Eve
