Description: # Gluware Ansible Dynamic Inventory Plugin
        
        This python package installs a Ansible Inventory plugin (glu_devices) to interact with a Gluware Control system to get the current network devices of a organization.  A "inventory" user can be created in the Gluware Control system that can then be used in the configuration of the glu_devices inventory plugin to access the devices of the Gluware Control system.  
        
        The glu_devices Ansible Inventory plugin gives Ansible playbooks the ability to connect to these devices and get the "ansible_network_os" property of the device to know what kind of device it is (if the discovery function in Gluware is used).  The glu_devices inventory plugin also exposes to Ansible playbooks any custom Gluware device attributes that start with "ansible_var_" (minus the "ansible_var_" part) to act on within the logic of the playbook.  In addition, the other Gluware device attributes can be mapped to Ansible variables through configuration settings of the glu_devices.
        
        To install on the system that is running Ansible run the command line: "pip install gluware-ansible-inventory".  If updating to a later version the run the command line: "pip install -I gluware-ansible-inventory".
        
        After install run the command line: "ansible-doc -t inventory glu_devices" to see the specifics of how to use the glu_devices inventory plugin to connect to the Gluware Control system.
        
        * Install Command 
            * $ pip install gluware-ansible-inventory
        * Update Command:

        * Usage documentation command after install
            * $ ansible-doc -t inventory glu_devices
        
        * Installation imlementation note:
            * The 'pip install gluware-ansible-inventory' places the 'glu_devices.py' file in the '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/inventory/' directory for ansible to find the glu_devices inventory plugin.
            * The inventory plugin is just the 'glu_devices.py' file with no other files being used.
