Recently, a user reported that the bigip_facts module was failing with the error
received exception: object of type 'itertools.imap' has no len()
This reported was occurring at line 1657 of the bigip_facts module
bug report is here
https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-ansible/issues/25
Upon further investigation, the map function for returning the specified
includes was returning an iterator, and calling len() on an iterator does
not work.
I believe this problem was caused by part of the Python 3.x effort insofar
as the inclusion of this line
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/module_utils/basic.py#L143
seems to affect our usage of map(), probably for the better anyway, and we need
to change our expectations in our module's code to no longer assume a list, but
instead assume an iterator.
After trawling through the module_utils/basic code, I think a list
comprehension is more appropriate here anyway, so I'm changing it to be
that. The affected user reported it works this way, and my own testing
on 2.2.0 supports that.
This parameter can be used to open up access to (among other things)
the mgmt address of a BIG-IP. It is necessary for configuring bigips
in an HA configuration.
This module can be used to maintain the iRules for both LTM and GTM
on a BIG-IP. iRules should be supplied in their string form using
normal strings (unlikely), file lookups (likely), or template
lookups (likely).
Tests for this module can be found here

Platforms this was tested on are

* Changed type of 'details' argument to bool on ecs_service_facts module.
* Changed type of 'autostart' argument to bool on virt_* modules.
* Changed types of 'autoconnect' and 'stp' argument to bool on nmcli module.
('create_connection_bridge(self)' and 'modify_connection_bridge(self)' are not implemented yet?)
* Added conversion of 'value' argument when 'vtype' is boolean on debconf module.
This module can be used to manipulate data centers in a BIG-IP.
It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl REST APIs, but default
to the REST API. With this module, you can perform operations similar
to those available in tmsh to create data centers and set the contact,
location, and description of those data centers.
This module is most useful in the initial provisioning of a BIG-IP
This module can be used to directly manipulate the system database
variables in a BIG-IP. It supports both the iControl SOAP and iControl
REST APIs, but default to the REST API. With this module, you can
perform operations similar to those available in tmsh to set system
variables such as turning off the default setup screen.

This module can be used to manage VLANs in BIG-IP on various software
versions. It is part of a bootstrapping effort underway to provide
modules necessary to bootstrap core settings in a BIG-IP.

A number of coding conventions have been adopted for new F5 modules
that are in development. To ensure common usage across the modules,
this module needed to be updated to reflect those conventions.
No functional code changes were made.

Additionally, this patch fixes a couple bugs in the module that were
preventing it from being idempotent.

* New module wakeonlan to send out magic WOL packets
For a local project managing desktop Windows systems at an elementary school, we want to send out wake-on-lan packets to all systems before continuing using Ansible.
That is the purpose of this module.
PS We can make this module idempotent by implementing arping support using scapy. At some point I may add this, at this time I simply plan on using wait_for to check if the system is online.
* Improved documentation and notes
* Improve the documentation a bit
* Fix Travis warnings and review remarks
* Fix exception handling to support both python2 and python3
* Documentation changes

The external_ids 'type' was not defined in the argument spec of
openvswitch_bridge. This caused 'external_ids' to be converted to a
string leading to an error when later calling exp_external_ids.items().

This patch adds support for the server_port module. It
additionally updates the documentation in the module for
it.
The changes were tested in the f5-ansible repository to
ensure no breaking changes were made. This argument allows
modules to be used on BIG-IPs that are listening on
non-standard ports.
The external_ids 'type' was not defined in the argument spec of
openvswitch_port. This lead 'external_ids' to be converted to a
string, when the value was not defined. Further down the code this
was leading to an exception in some cases. By defining the type
all is right.
Instead of doing an unpack, deliberately specify which parameters you
want to use. This allows us to flexibly add more parameters to the
f5_argument_spec without having to rewrite all the modules that use
it.
Functionally this commit changes nothing, it just provides for a
different way of accessing the parameters to the module
As is done in other ansible modules, this adds the __main__ check
to the module so that the module code itself can be used as a library.
For instance, when testing the code.
