This is because underscores are illegals in hostnames and users might
want to create the same host names are the name of the Linode machine
(as in the report in #30059).
Closes https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/30059.
Made the following changes:
* Removed wildcard imports
* Replaced long form of GPL header with short form
* Removed get_exception usage
* Added from __future__ boilerplate
* Adjust division operator to // where necessary
For the following files:
* web_infrastructure modules
* system modules
* linode, lxc, lxd, atomic, cloudscale, dimensiondata, ovh, packet,
profitbricks, pubnub, smartos, softlayer, univention modules
* compat dirs (disabled as its used intentionally)
* Rm check for unused 'name' arg for restarted.
The module docs claim 'name' is not required for
restarted state, and the code doesn't seem to use
it is.
* Better error msg for linode 'restarted' state.
* Remove the eval() and loop over args.
* Fix use of eval(args), and cleanups.
* linode 'stopped' state doesnt need name either
Fixes#3873

eval can have security consequences. It doesn't look bad here but it
does introduce unnecessary complexity and would make it harder if we
ever want to use static analysis to detect and prohibit eval. So we
should get rid of it.
Note: this could be even more efficient if we combined the checks into
a single condition instead of looping but that does change the error
messages a bit. For instance:
- for arg in ('name', 'linode_id'):
- if not eval(arg):
+ if not (name and linode_id):
+ module.fail_json(msg='name and linode_id are required for active state')
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
