im creating my hosts file with

    for f in $(seq 1 10); do echo "host$f" >> hosts; done

and then try to list hosts with


    ansible all -i hosts --limit ~host1 --list-hosts

with this result

  hosts (10):
    host1
    host2
    host3
    host4
    host5
    host6
    host7
    host8
    host9
    host10


Also non regex limit reutnrs

ansible all -i hosts --limit host4 --list-hosts
  hosts (10):
    host1
    host2
    host3
    host4
    host5
    host6
    host7
    host8
    host9
    host10


I've tried googling but nothing came up. Has there been any changes ?

ansible 2.0.0.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = /usr/share/ansible

and i've installed itwith `pip install --user ansible --upgrade`.


Cheers,
Mike

Are you seeing this just with --list-hosts or are you seeing it when running a playbook too?

playbooks are all right (playbook fails cause hosts are not real btw).


ansible-playbook test.yml -i hosts --limit ~host1

This is probably a bug that just affects --list-hosts.

I agree. Mike, can you open an issue on github for us so we can keep track of this?

Thanks!
