Hello,  
I write playbook and python code to run it.Code i took from ansible-playbook as example:

playbook=params[“playbook”]  
inventory=ansible.inventory.Inventory(hosts)  
inventory.set\_playbook\_basedir(os.path.dirname(playbook))

stats = callbacks.AggregateStats()  
playbook\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookCallbacks(verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)  
runner\_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(stats, verbose=utils.VERBOSITY)

params[“inventory”]=inventory  
params[“stats”]=stats  
params[“callbacks”]=playbook\_cb  
params[“runner\_callbacks”]=runner\_cb

pb=ansible.playbook.PlayBook(\*\*playbook\_params)

pr=pb.run()

But I got:

TASK: [base | Install packages] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [127.0.0.1] =\> (item=build-essential) =\> {  
“item”: “build-essential”,  
“msg”: “install build-essential state=present update\_cache=yes cache\_valid\_time=86400”  
}

**I want run playbooks without output. How to do this?**

Regards.

Did you ever figure out how to achieve this?

I have the same ‘challenge’.

You need to replace the Callback classes with your own that don’t do anything. I believe 1 of the classes in use inherits from a default that performs no actions. The other, I think you have to create yourself.
