The project has been given some additional attention by yours truly as of late, and it feels like the time is right to bring to the broader community. Therefore, I present you: > > The tool has been [announced in the forum](https://forum.ansible.com/t/andebox-a-tool-for-ansible-developers-maintainers/43150), and it is, of course, available at PyPI. At the time of writing the latest version is 1.1.2, but that has been moving relatively fast as of late, so watch that space. > > This is a tool for Ansible collection developers/maintainers, it helps with testing (setup-less test for collections; using tox to test against multiple Ansible versions; using vagrant to test locally with VMs), reformating YAML documentation blocks, generating a collection docsite locally, amongst other features. > > Though the tool is not complicated to learn and use, a more extensive documentation is in the works and should be made available in the next days/weeks. > > Contributions are more than welcome!!! Hope you like it!! ### Ansible Community Package [↗](https://github.com/ansible-collections) The `Ansible` package includes `ansible-core` and is a batteries-included package that provides a curated set of Ansible collections.
