Real Python instead of templating (Jinja in YAML) would be nice.

In Ansible, it's fairly arduous to try to reshape data from command outputs into structures that can be used in loops in other tasks--especially if you want to merge output from multiple commands. Main usecase is more dynamic playbooks where you combine state from multiple systems to create a new piece of infrastructure.

I think templating yaml or templates inside yaml is a bit of an anti pattern.
