Ansible action plugin "include_vars_merged". Same as "include_vars" but merges hashes instead of overriding

Why?

Current version of Ansible (1.7.1) does not merge hashes in the include_vars task even if told so via hash_behaviour = merge in your ansible.cfg. ansible/ansible#9116

This action plugin will merge hashes no matter how you have configured your hash_behaviour.

How to setup:

Save include_vars_merged.py to library/plugins/action/include_vars_merged.py

Save include_vars_merged to library/custom/include_vars_merged

Use of __main__.py

The use of __main__.py to create executables

myprojectfolder/
    |_ __main__.py
    |_ __init__.py

Being __main__.py:

print("Hello")

Calling Rust from Python/PyPy using CFFI (C Foreign Function Interface)

This is a small demo of how to create a library in Rust and call it from Python (both CPython and PyPy) using the CFFI instead of ctypes.

Based on http://harkablog.com/calling-rust-from-c-and-python.html (dead) which used ctypes

CFFI is nice because:

  • Reads C declarations (parses headers)
  • Works in both CPython and PyPy (included with PyPy)
  • Lower call overhead than ctypes

Adapted Gitlab communications section

Internal Communication DRAFT

  • Use asynchronous communication when possible (issues and email instead of chat), issues are preferred over email, email is preferred over chat, announcements happen via email or team standup, and people should be able to do their work without getting interrupted by chat.
    • More importantly, a verbal or chat record does not spread communication widely and can vary based the person delivering the message (bias) or other tribal interpretation. A written record is always critical when it comes to questions, strategy and decisions. When decisions or information is ad-hoc is reinforces the idea that people are treated unequally, do not have a voice and are kept in the dark.
  • It is very OK to ask as many questions as you have, but ask them so many people can answer them and many people see the answer (so use issues or public chat channels instead of private messages or one-on-one emails) and make sure you try to document the answers.
  • If applicable, use github to track
