How to use eval() method in ansible?

Hello Team,

I would like to use eval() method which we use in python to be used in Ansible or in jinja templating. So far, I didn’t get any module for it in Ansible. There is no filter called eval which can be used in jinja templating. Is there any way to achieve it?

Basically, the script module is there to run arbitrary code, or if you
need to use inline in a play, you can use pipe lookup : lookup('pipe',
'python -c '<eval stuff here....')
