Ansible module for windows

[Leonid Lee]

Hello.

Is there any way to create modules using python to deploy packages on windows?

I created simple module that prints "Hello world!" to text file. It works on ansible control machine (rhel):

$ ansible localhost -i hosts.yml -m test

127.0.0.1 | success >> {

    "changed": true,

    "msg": "./test.txt"

}

But fails on windows remote machine:

$ ansible ansible-slave -i hosts.yml -m test

192.168.163.137 | FAILED >> {

    "failed": true,

    "msg": "The argument 'C:\\Users\\ansible\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ansible-tmp-1429814185.92-235487101584232\\\\test.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter.\r\n",

    "parsed": false

}

Quoting from the manual (http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html):
"For Windows, ansible modules are implemented in PowerShell."

AFAIK, this is the official and supported way to do things on Windows.
