Ansible role for the installation of Python libraries to allow connection with Intersystems Cache databases.

Role Name

This role automates the process of installing the neccesary Cache client Python libraries to allow connection to a Cahce database via Python.

Requirements

It is assumed that Cache is to be installed somewhere on the network to allow testing.

Role Variables

host - The address of the Intersystems Cache server

[ Default - localhost ]

prt - The port on the Cache server to connect to

[ Default - 1972 ]

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  role: cache-python
  host: cacheserver 
  ...

NOTE

This role is designed to be run with both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python but the tar file files/cache-python.tar only contains a 32 bit version of Pythonbind.so and so there is an exit in the playbook when a 64 bit architecture is detected.
