ansible.constants was calling expanduser (by way of shell_expand_path) on the entire configured value for the library and *_plugins configuration values, but these values have always been interpreted as multiple directories separated by os.pathsep. Thus, if you supplied multiple directories for one of these values, typically only the first (at least on *nix) would have e.g. "~" expanded to HOME. Now PluginLoader does expansion on each individual path in each of these variables.
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions on http://ansibleworks.com/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansibleworks.com/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).
Design Principles
- Dead simple setup
- Super fast & parallel by default
- No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
- No additional software required on client boxes
- Modules can be written in ANY language
- Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
- Be usable as non-root
- The easiest config management system to use, ever.
