This looks great. I've used ansible in the past, is this tool like a stripped down (and thus simpler to use) version of ansible?

Given that ansible can be installed via "pip install ansible" I'm not sure how much simpler you can get?

Like a basic list of servers can also have this done via "ansible -m shell -a 'echo something' <server group>"

yeah, ansible is very nice also in that it can have multiple inventories across cloud providers for running whatever, with minimal setup, and without needing to modify your ssh host config
To be completely honest, I didn't even think about ansible when creating this (probability because I haven't yet used it), I looked at pssh and clusterssh and just decided to build one myself.
