* Python interpreter discovery * No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python` * `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings. * includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL) * docs revisions for python interpreter discovery (cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2) * verify output on some distros, cleanup

Ansible ships with a number of modules (called the 'module library')
|
|
that can be executed directly on remote hosts or through :doc:`Playbooks <playbooks>`.
|
|
|
|
Users can also write their own modules. These modules can control system resources,
|
|
like services, packages, or files (anything really), or handle executing system commands.
