I have been post my questions in here.

now I found I used official api example, it will also create tmp files and not delete it.

[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing\_api.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing_api.html)

but if i use ansible-playbook,it 's normal.

`

ansible-playbook test.yml  
`  
the tmp files in here:

`

```auto
$ ~/.ansible/tmp# ls

```
