Hi there,

I want to manage AIX machines with ansible, but there is no python installed. Since python is quite heavy I found the lightweight pypy.  
But even pypy has build dependencies, most of them are not present in my environment.  
When I read this correct, pypy can be build without all those dependencies (all are called optional).  
Will the resulting binary be enough to run ansible?
