Not using simplejson

[Mauricio Tavares]

If I do not want to have simplejson in the client/node, how much
of ansible's features do I lose? From what I found I can only run raw
commands, but I hope I am wrong. Can someone shine some rays of hope
my way?

[Brian Coca]

pretty much raw is the only thing you can run w/o a json library, what
version of python are you running on the targets?

For this specific target,

~ # python -V
Python 2.6.7

Then you have json (what simplejson became when it was brought in to the python core). <tim/>

That's nice to know! And, there it is!

~ # python
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Jun 9 2014, 18:31:44)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)] on linux2

>>> import json

But when I try to do something simple, get date in raw mode,

[ansible@scan ansible]$ ansible vmhosts -m raw -a 'date'
vmhost2.example.com | success | rc=0 >>
Wed Jul 22 20:15:50 UTC 2015


[ansible@scan ansible]$

it works, but

[ansible@scan ansible]$ ansible vmhosts -a date

I then realize I am barking at the wrong tree: the target does not
have the grp module.
