> means minimal dependency on install (Python is shipped by default with Linux).

I love how the Ansible "Getting Started" guide [0] first says you need to install Puppet 2.6, as 2.4 on CentOS / RHEL is not supported :)

s/Puppet/Python

There's a very big difference given the nature of this article. I thought that Ansible was dependent on Puppet and was quite confused.


Yeah the web page does not say that unless you have a really sneaky IRC proxy in the way :)

Python 2.4 is all you need on remote nodes, but on the control machine you do need Python 2.6.


I have also needed a JSON lib installed on the target for python < 2.6. Is there some way around that?


Easiest is probably to use ansible's "raw" module to install it with yum, by feeding the http:// URL to yum, unless you have EPEL already configured.
