This avoids passing the plaintext raw password into the script as a command-line argument, which shells such as bash and zsh will typically log into a file like ~/bash_history. As a small bonus, this works a LOT more smoothly if the user's password has characters in it that either the shell or Python syntax might like to interpret as metacharacters, like '\' or '"'. getpass.getpass() is part of Python's standard library in all versions between 2.4 and 3.3 at least. |

Homepage and documentation source for Ansible
This project hosts the source behind docs.ansible.com
Contributions to the documentation are welcome. To make changes, submit a pull request that changes the reStructuredText files in the "rst/" directory only, and Michael can do a docs build and push the static files.
If you wish to verify output from the markup
such as link references, you may install sphinx and build the documentation by running
make viewdocs
from the ansible/docsite
directory.
To include module documentation you'll need to run make webdocs
at the top level of the repository. The generated
html files are in docsite/htmlout/.
If you do not want to learn the reStructuredText format, you can also file issues about documentation problems on the Ansible GitHub project.
Note that module documentation can actually be generated from a DOCUMENTATION docstring in the modules directory, so corrections to modules written as such need to be made in the module source, rather than in docsite source.
To install sphinx and the required theme, install pip and then "pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme"
