In the installation guide, the raw module is mentioned as an option for
installing Python or simplejson on managed nodes that don't have them.
This change adds an example for users that may already be familiar with
using ansible but are checking install docs because they don't know the
requirements for managed nodes, or are using a distribution that doesn't
include Python 2 by default.
This work fulfills PR #11799. Moved the content out of the vault file,
into best practices, edited it, then referenced it from variables and
vaults content files.
I inadvertently introduced it in
ca826508d9 and didn't notice, because
there are no unit tests for playbook_executor.py. Sorry!
(The "from ansible.errors import *" was used *only* to get the 'os'
module, which makes go "what?")
If you convert the error string to bytes and embed it inside another
error string, you get
Prefix:
b'Embedded\nerror\nstring'
which is not what we want.
But we also don't want Unicode in error messages causing unexpected
UnicodeEncodeErrors when on Python 2.
So let's convert the error message into the native string type (bytes on
Python 2, unicode on Python 3).
* Don't throw away the full path of the module code being loaded,
as this can cause conflicts when files of the same name are being
instantiated
* Generalize the module loading code
Fixes#12738
This reverts commit 073f10a52a and instead
disables the failing test.
We're focusing on Python 3 support on the controller first; modules will
come later.
Fixes a test failure:

{"msg": "missing required arguments: foo", "failed": true}
because converting 'foo' to bytes yields b'foo' on Python 3, which
doesn't match the native-unicode 'foo' argument spec.
