Hi,

I was trying to invoke ansible plabook from python and got various blocker.  
1\> I have used dict formated data for ansible playbook tasks. And then tried to executed it working fine (as shown example in below link)  
e.g. at [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev\_guide/developing\_api.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_api.html)

But I want to use module as “shell” now got a dead end how to provide argument to module as free-form text.  
Would you please help me with example ? (using dict as shown in example)

2\> I observe than python ansible module/library fail to load inventory from file. (It not even parsing that file).  
I think this is bug as like ymal is not handled. (Inventory INI file is not handled in python-anisble module/library)

Please help me to understand more about ansible library/module in python.

Thanks,
