Hi all,

I’m newer in ansible, so I made some playbooks (working fine). But now I want to call these playbooks inside python script and record the output from ansible playbook in python variable. How can i do that?  
See thats playbook works:

[root@vmcaiosyscolprod01 playbooks]# ansible --version  
ansible 2.4.2.0  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [‘/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ansible-2.4.2.0-py3.5.egg/ansible  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.5.3 (default, Apr 17 2017, 12:33:06) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)]

[root@vmcaiosyscolprod01 playbooks]#

In Internet I found some directions see;

from ansible.playbook import Playbook  
from ansible import inventory  
from ansible.plugins import callback  
from ansible import utils  
import jinja2  
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile  
import os

#callbacks for stdout/stderr and log output  
utils.VERBOSITY = 0  
playbook\_cb = callback.PlaybookCallbacks(verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)  
stats = callbacks.AggregateStats()  
runner\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(stats, verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)

pb = PlayBook(  
playbook=‘/usr/local/caiosys/ansible/playbooks/QOS\_S1.yml’,  
host\_list=‘/usr/local/caiosys/ansible/playbooks/S1\_QOS\_inventory.yml’,  
become=True,  
callbacks=playbook\_cb,  
runner\_callbacks=runner\_cb,  
stats=stats,  
)

results = pb.run()

# Ensure on\_stats callback is called for callback modules

playbook\_cb.on\_stats(pb.stats)

print results

But I fount some isues see:

[root@vmcaiosyscolprod01 playbooks]# python3  
Python 3.5.3 (default, Apr 17 2017, 12:33:06)  
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)] on linux  
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

Where is PlaybookCallbacks???
