python api on windows

I am able to run the below cmd

ansible windows -m raw -u Administrator -c winrm -a “dir”

with group_vars/windows.yml

ansible_user: Administrator

ansible_password: xxxxx

ansible_port: 5986

ansible_connection: winrm

ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore

I wonder how I can specify group_vars/windows.yml in the api code? The code is something like this now, which works fine on Linux.

def run(self, cmd, hosts, remote_user=‘Administrator’):

play_source = dict(

name = ‘Ansible Win Cli PoC’,

hosts = hosts,

remote_user = remote_user,

gather_facts = ‘no’,

tasks = [

dict(action=dict(module=‘raw’, args=cmd), register=‘shell_out’),

dict(action=dict(module=‘debug’, args=dict(msg=‘{{shell_out.stdout}}’)))

]

)

play = Play().load(play_source, variable_manager=self._variable_manager, loader=self._loader)

tqm = None

try:

tqm = TaskQueueManager(

inventory=self._inventory,

variable_manager=self._variable_manager,

loader=self._loader,

options=self._options,

stdout_callback=‘default’,

passwords=None

)

tqm.run(play)

finally:

if tqm is not None:

tqm.cleanup()

If you need to explicitly include this, try using the include_vars module. That said if you’re running against a host already in that group, all the variables in that file should already be available to you

Marc,
Thanks for prompt response. How can I do it in python code?
Thanks,
