### setting up the inventory
 
## first of all, set up a host (or more)
example_host = ansible.inventory.host.Host(
 name = '10.11.12.66',
 port = 22
 )
# with its variables to modify the playbook
example_host.set_variable( 'var', 'foo')
 
## secondly set up the group where the host(s) has to be added
example_group = ansible.inventory.group.Group(
 name = 'sample_group_name'
 )
example_group.add_host(example_host)
 
## the last step is set up the invetory itself
example_inventory = ansible.inventory.Inventory()
example_inventory.add_group(example_group)
example_inventory.subset('sample_group_name')
 
# setting callbacks
stats = callbacks.AggregateStats()
