Ansible does require that some flavour of Python is available on the target hosts. Without a Python interpreter, you're basically restricted to using the raw module (which, of course, you may use to bootstrap Python by invoking the package manager).

Still, I guess most people don't bother with that and just assume the presence of Python (at least on Linux, the bootstrap-using-raw approach is already required on FreeBSD and others).

Support for managing windows hosts with ansible is implemented by replacing the use of SSH & python with winrm & PowerShell respectively.
