Hi,
Good suggetions.
The docs project is itself also open source, so how about sending me a
pull request for the "rst/" files in the
https://github.com/ansible/ansible.github.com/tree/master/rst ?
I would leave note1, should be obvious by showing them on the command
line. You can also leave out paramiko and choose to use
--connection ssh (which is not the default, and can be set via an
environment variable also) if you want to avoid homebrew.
Thanks!

Michael:
Are there any advantages to using paramiko over “–connection ssh”?
Take care,
Lorin
Paramiko is:
– infinitely faster if you don’t have ControlMaster capability (otherwise it’s basically the same) on older machines
– there to allow newbies to not know what ControlMaster is or what settings to use
– is less much fiddly when it comes to known_hosts, which can be an annoyance in reprovisioning cases (though Cobbler’s keep_ssh_host_keys script is awesome for reinstalls)
– the only way presently that --ask-pass works versus requiring SSH keys
Unless you have need of kerberized SSH or something like that, most people won’t need to know about -c ssh. I believe it’s a much better introduction to Ansible for new users, and fine
for many to continue to use indefinitely. It’s actually what I use pretty much all of the time.
