How To Set Vars Into Ansible Inventory?

In playbook I'm using variable {{excluded_service}}. I want to run ansible playbook from python and provide this variable. And I can't use external inventory script to provide this

Solution 1:

Specify the vars in a host_vars file? E.g. create a YAML file named /etc/ansible/host_vars/localhost with the vars you wanna put there.

I don't know, yet, how to specify it in Python code itself.

After a quick look the code, I don't think ansible supports specifying host variables when you specify hosts via host_list parameter. Hacks I can think of (if you must do this in python code) are:

• [mis]use extra_vars parameter.
• Write an inventory file (YAML or executable that just prints required JSON) from your python code and pass it's path as parameter inventory.
