Prior to Python 2.5, SystemExit was a subclass of Exception.
In Py2.4, this is causing extra error output on valid sys.exit(0).
(Toshio) Call sys.exit from inside of the SystemExit exception handler so py2.4 and py2.5+ behaviour matches
* Fixing compile time errors irt a) exception handling for Python 3 in util, also: b) problem octal usage (fixed) and c) print json_dump -> print(json_dump(xyz) ... et al
* This code was not Python 2.4 compliant. Octal codes and exception handling is now working with Py 2.4, 2.6, & 3.5.
* Fixing formating (or rather reverting an non 2.4 compatible change). Works in compile & runtime checking.
* a) revert to use print sys.stderr not fail_json; b) fixed var name in exception
* Python 3 compatible print (print >>sys.stderr will generate a TypeError - now uses sys.stderr.write instead).
2) Fixed octal codes to fall in line with the ansible guide, "Porting Modules to Python 3"
3) updated the requirements.
All changes have been verified against Python 2.4, 2.6, & 3.5.
There are established connections for a service. The service is bound to a ipv4-mapped ipv6 address. Wait_for wrongly waits for clients listed in exclude_hosts.
Running async_status in an "until: result.finished" loop will mask a module failure (eg, traceback) with a
template failure, because the fail dict doesn't include "finished" (eg, you'll see "ERROR! The conditional check 'bogus_out.finished' failed. The error was: ERROR! error while evaluating conditional: bogus_out.finished ({% if bogus_out.finished %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}"). Because the failure dict still includes "failed: true",
this change has no effect on stoppage/failure reporting, it just prevents the common usage pattern from masking the underlying error message.
* reading from a socket that gave some data we weren't looking for and
then closed.
* read from a socket that stays open and never sends data.
* reading from a socket that sends data but not the data we're looking
for.
Fixes#2051
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
Context: I recently discovered that when setting a fact, key=value pairs and complex arguments differ in how the fact is stored. For example, when attempting to use complex arguments using key=values, the result can be stored as a unicode string as opposed to an object/list/etc.
I'm hoping the above example update will better demonstrate to and instruct people to use complex arguments instead of key=value pairs in certain situations.
