Allows users to specify a key name in a given project’s `ansible.cfg`
file and thus handle keyring integration with vaults with different
passwords. If no key name is specified, the original default `ansible`
key name will be used.
Other improvements:
* `username` is now optional; defaults to user that invokes the script
* change string interpolation to new `.format()` style
* clean up and expand upon documentation
* enforce PEP 8 compliance
* Add dynamic inventory script and config for Packet.net
* The script and config have been shamelessly cargo
culted from the `ec2.py` and `ec2.ini` dynamic inventory
script.
* This is an initial version and could very well be
enhanced and made better.
Examples:
`PACKET_NET_API_KEY=<MY_AUTH_TOKEN> --list` to get inventory for
all hosts in Packet.net in all projects (defaults to `--list`
if no argument provided).
`PACKET_NET_API_KEY=<MY_AUTH_TOKEN> --host HOST` to get variables
for a single host.
* improvements in Packet host dynamic inventory
Ensure command line profile argument and AWS_PROFILE environment variable
overrides config file
Remove unnecessary `lambda` function
Fix cache file path construction to be more pythonic (and windows-ready)
use inkey attribute in _process_object_types recursive loop to generate key name in skip_keys directive.
This permit to ignore nested variables, for example summary.vm to optimize inventory collect
* vmware_inventory: permit to group by custom field
This permits to create instances, affect some custom fields like EC2 tags and then retrieve groups from custom fields like EC2 inventory
* vmware_inventory: Customize skip_keys & add resourceconfig to skip_keys
Verify if customfield is a str before processing custom fields for a host
* Fix many points reported by PyCharm as PEP 8 code style
* Improve inventory performance by dropping vim.HostSystem & vim.VirtualMachine collect when depth >= 2
* Declare some class variables properly
* Remove some unused variables
* Add documentation in vmware_inventory.ini for VMWARE_USERNAME & VMWARE_PASSWORD env vars
This forces basic auth to be used. Using the normal HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm
password manager from urllib2 fails since collins doesn't send a 401 retry on failure.

I added a small comment about the format of the host so others don't waste time like i did.
- Remove shebangs from:
- ini files
- unit tests
- module_utils
- plugins
- module_docs_fragments
- non-executable Makefiles
- Change non-modules from '/usr/bin/python' to '/usr/bin/env python'.
- Change '/bin/env' to '/usr/bin/env'.
Also removed main functions from unit tests (since they no longer
have a shebang) and fixed a python 3 compatibility issue with
update_bundled.py so it does not need to specify a python 2 shebang.
A script was added to check for unexpected shebangs in files.
This script is run during CI on Shippable.
* [GCE] Caching support for inventory script.
The GCE inventory script now supports reading from a cache rather than making the request each time. The format of the list and host output have not changed.
On script execution, the cache is checked to see if it older than 'cache_max_age', and if so, it is rebuilt (it can also be explicity rebuilt).
To support this functionality, the following have been added.
* Config file (gce.ini) changes: A new 'cache' section has been added to the config file, with 'cache_path' and 'cache_max_age' options to allow for configuration. There are intelligent defaults in place if that section and options are not found in the configuration file.
* Command line argument: A new --refresh-cache argument has been added to force the cache to be rebuild.
* A CloudInventoryCache class, contained in the same file has been added. As a seperate class, it allowed for testing (unit tests not included in this PR) and hopefully could be re-used in the future (it contains borrowed code from other inventory scripts)
* load_inventory_from_cache and do_api_calls_and_update_cache methods (, which were largely lifted from other inventory scripts, in a hope to promote consistency in the future) to determine if the cache is fresh and rebuild if necessary.
* A 'main' check, to support the script being imported and testable.
A new dictionary has been added to the list output, located at ['_meta']['stats'] that informs if the cache was used and how long it took to load the inventory (in 'cache_used' and 'inventory_load_time', respectively).
* fixed default value error; change cache time to 300
