Bootstrap a sudoless python 2.4 environment to support ansible via the ansible_python_interpreter var

bootstrap.bash

#!/bin/sh

# invoke like: ./bootstrap <somehost> -u <someuser>
# all invocation time flags will be forwarded to ansible
# don't specify module or args
# pulls down simplejson to $HOME/.ansible/deps
# creates a new ansible_python_interpreter located at $HOME/.ansible/bin/python usable by anyone on the box

ansible -m raw $@ -a 'mkdir -p $HOME/.ansible/deps && \
                      curl http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/simplejson/simplejson-2.1.0.tar.gz | \
                      tar xvz -C $HOME/.ansible/deps && \
                      mkdir -p $HOME/.ansible/bin && \
                      echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nexport PYTHONPATH=\\$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/.ansible/deps/simplejson-2.1.0\nexec /usr/bin/python \"\\$@\"" > \
