< p > Ansible is written for Python 2.6. If you are running Python 2.5 on an “ Enterprise Linux” variant,
your distribution can easily install 2.6 (see instructions in the next section). Newer versions
of Linux and OS X should already have 2.6.< / p >

< p class = "last" > Ansible’ s “ raw” module (for executing commands in a quick and dirty
way) and the copy module – some of the most basic features in
ansible – don’ t even need that. So technically, you can use
Ansible to install python-simplejson using the raw module, which
then allows you to use everything else. (That’ s jumping ahead
though.)< / p >

< h2 > Choosing Between Paramiko and Native SSH< a class = "headerlink" href = "#choosing-between-paramiko-and-native-ssh" title = "Permalink to this headline" > ¶< / a > < / h2 >
< p > By default, ansible uses paramiko to talk to managed nodes over SSH. Paramiko is fast, works
very transparently, requires no configuration, and is a good choice for most users.
However, it does not support some advanced SSH features that folks will want to use.< / p >

< p class = "versionadded" >
< span class = "versionmodified" > New in version 0.5.< / span > < / p >
< p > If you want to leverage more advanced SSH features (such as Kerberized
SSH or jump hosts), pass the flag “ – connection=ssh” to any ansible
command, or set the ANSIBLE_TRANSPORT environment variable to
‘ ssh’ . This will cause Ansible to use openssh tools instead.< / p >
2012-07-04 23:47:04 +02:00
< p > If ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS are not set, ansible will try to use some sensible ControlMaster options
by default. You are free to override this environment variable, but should still pass ControlMaster
options to ensure performance of this transport. With ControlMaster in use, both transports
are roughly the same speed. Without CM, the binary ssh transport is signficantly slower.< / p >
< p > If none of this makes sense to you, the default paramiko option is probably fine.< / p >
