find out the ansible version within ansible without shell/cmd?

[nusenu]

Hi,

is there a better way for this than to use shell+register?

- name: get ansible version
shell: ansible --version|head -1|cut -d" " -f2
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
register: ansibleversion


thanks,
nusenu

use the built in:

- debug: var=ansible_version
