script to play with ansible inventory

ansinv.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
'''
This script should be run against an ansible Inventory file
in order to return host/group information
Contact guy dot matz dot cft at jcrew dot com with any questions, although he's 
probably completely forgotten everything about this . ..   :-(
