Description

A trivial test module, this module always returns C(pong) on successful contact. It does not make sense in playbooks, but it is useful from C(/usr/bin/ansible) to verify the ability to login and that a usable Python is configured.

This is NOT ICMP ping, this is just a trivial test module that requires Python on the remote-node.

For Windows targets, use the M(ansible.windows.win_ping) module instead.

For Network targets, use the M(ansible.netcommon.net_ping) module instead.
