fields of a dictionary and return the dictionary.
* When fetching URLs, please use either fetch_url or open_url from ansible.module_utils.urls
rather than urllib2; urllib2 does not natively verify TLS certificates and so is insecure for https.
* facts modules must return facts in the ansible_facts field of the result
dictionary. :ref:`module_provided_facts`
* modules that are purely about fact gathering need to implement check_mode.
they should not cause any changes anyway so it should be as simple as adding
check_mode=True when instantiating AnsibleModule. (The reason is that
playbooks which conditionalize based on fact information will only
conditionalize correctly in check_mode if the facts are returned in
check_mode).
