一. 简述：

  通过ansible 实现系统初始化功能， 为和平台嵌入， 需要通过ansible的api进行功能实现。 准确来说，ansible并没有纯粹的外部接入api功能， 只是官方提供了原生类，用于继承接入，从而实现api功能。

二. 实现逻辑：

套用ansible官方实例，通常情况下，编写一个api功能需要继承/使用以下功能模块(from...)：

import json
from collections import namedtuple
from ansible.parsing.dataloader import DataLoader
from ansible.vars import VariableManager      #用于存储各类变量信息
from ansible.inventory import Inventory       #导入inventory(主机信息)文件
from ansible.playbook.play import Play        #验证执行参数
from ansible.executor.task_queue_manager import TaskQueueManager  #多任务调度
from ansible.plugins.callback import CallbackBase       #信息回调class ResultCallback(CallbackBase):def v2_runner_on_ok(self,result,**kwargs):host = result._hostprint json.dumps({host.name: result._result}, indent=4)Options = namedtuple('Options', ['connection', 'module_path', 'forks', 'become', 'become_method', 'become_user', 'check'])
variable_manager = VariableManager()
loader = DataLoader()
options = Options(connection='local', module_path='/opt/ansible/modules', forks=100, become=None, become_method=None, become_user=None, check=False)
passwords = dict(vault_pass='secret')results_callback = ResultCallback()inventory = Inventory(loader=loader, variable_manager=variable_manager, host_list='localhost')
variable_manager.set_inventory(inventory)play_source =  dict(name = "Ansible Play",hosts = 'localhost',gather_facts = 'no',tasks = [dict(action=dict(module='shell', args='ls'), register='shell_out'),dict(action=dict(module='debug', args=dict(msg='{{shell_out.stdout}}')))])
play = Play().load(play_source, variable_manager=variable_manager, loader=loader)tqm = None
try:tqm = TaskQueueManager(inventory=inventory,variable_manager=variable_manager,loader=loader,options=options,passwords=passwords,stdout_callback=results_callback,)result = tqm.run(play)
finally:if tqm is not None:tqm.cleanup()
eg:http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_api.html

这里从中将inventory单独摘出来作为解析。

inventory在之前(inventory定义及动态获取)文档中已有简单说明。 这里，主要描述下整个调用。 

可以看到，inventory是通过以下元素组成，生成后，通过taskqueuemanager调用

inventory = Inventory(loader=loader, variable_manager=variable_manager, host_list='localhost')

class Inventory(object):"""Host inventory for ansible."""def __init__(self, loader, variable_manager, host_list=C.DEFAULT_HOST_LIST): #对应上文中调用# the host file file, or script path, or list of hosts# if a list, inventory data will NOT be loadedself.host_list = unfrackpath(host_list, follow=False)self._loader = loaderself._variable_manager = variable_managerself.localhost = None。。。。。。。。。。。。

from ansible import constants as C

..........
DEFAULT_DEBUG     = get_config(p, DEFAULTS, 'debug',     'ANSIBLE_DEBUG',    False, value_type='boolean')
DEFAULT_VERBOSITY = get_config(p, DEFAULTS, 'verbosity', 'ANSIBLE_VERBOSITY',  0, value_type='integer')
DEFAULT_HOST_LIST = get_config(p, DEFAULTS,'inventory', 'ANSIBLE_INVENTORY', DEPRECATED_HOST_LIST, value_type='path')
.........
