@mcbloch could you share how you found it? Were you looking into the source code planning to contribute something more substantial?
I was trying to figure out how I could interact with Ansible internals to extract stuff like inventory and variables of an Ansible repo to use that in some python script. Was not specifically searching to contribute but this one caught my eye. :)
It does not feel however that I am following any intended workflow. For example reading variables that also contain encrypted parts is a bit hacky due to vault credential loading not being in the API but only in the CLI (if I investigated the source correctly).
@mcbloch you're right. ansible-core doesn't really have an intentional public API short of the CLI. There's ansible-runner that might cover some of these needs, but in general, it's not intended to be imported from Python.
