Updated python script to export ansible inventory from awx | ansible tower server.

# add terms to this list which will be ignored for ini file generation. 
# eg. every host var that contains ther term remote_tower will be ignored
exclude_host_vars = [ 'remote_tower']

Hi,

You should add (line 61):

for host in hosts[key]['hosts']:
            if host in host_var_dict:
                print ('{}{}'.format(host,host_var_dict[host]))
            else:
                print ('{}'.format(host))

I got a key not fould error on it

Thank you @MalfuncEddie this makes a lot of sense. I will add it.
