This doesn't work for me after upgrading to Ansible 2.4 as it's unable to find InventoryParser. Do you have a fix (or suggestion) for this?

I am having the same issue as @andrew-sumner...would love to know if anyone knows of a fix

edit
it looks like ansible 2.4 doesn't include an InventoryParser class anymore.

Found this tip really useful. Thanks for putting this together. got me looking for what I needed in the 2.4 patch

Here's something similar to what I've implemented in my code.

from ansible.plugins.inventory import expand_hostname_range, detect_range

def my_expand(host_line):
  hosts = []
  if detect_range(host_line):
    hosts += expand_hostname_range(host_line)
  else:
    hosts += [host_line]
  return hosts

Something like this should work https://gist.github.com/narkq/300e2c85f2054353d3034afde3ea846e
