Hi there,

could someone translate me the following playbook into python language?

```auto
---
- hosts: "{{ host }}"

  vars:
    static_jobs:
      - templatename: "template1"
        templateextension: "zip"
        templateversion: "1.0.0"
      - templatename: "template2"
        templateextension: "zip"
        templateversion: "2.0.0"
      - templatename: "template3"
        templateextension: "war"
        templateversion: "4.5.0"

  tasks:
  - name: will not start message
    debug: "msg='{{ item.templatename }} und dann {{ item.templateextension }} und am Ende {{ item.templateversion }} ...'"
    with_items: "{{ static_jobs }}"
    when: item.templateversion == "2.0.0"

```

Regards,  
Tom

I don't understand why you would need that, it's just a loop that print thing out the the condition are met.  
But since I'm in a process to learn Python why not.

static\_jobs = [  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{"templatename": "template1", "templateextension": "zip", "templateversion": "1.0.0"},  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{"templatename": "template2", "templateextension": "zip", "templateversion": "2.0.0"},  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{"templatename": "template3", "templateextension": "war", "templateversion": "4.5.0"}  
]

for item in static\_jobs:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if item["templateversion"] == "2.0.0":  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print item["templatename"] + " und dann " + item["templateextension"] + " und am Ende " + item["templateversion"] + "\n"
