Hello and thank u first for this projekt!

Its actually a feature i would like to ask: for an example when im using ansible with your script: ansible -i foreman_ansible_inventory.py host1 -m ping

But i would like to set multiply hosts in the command, like: ansible -i foreman_ansible_inventory.py host1 host2 host3 -m ping

Is it possible to do?

Sure. It's the whole point of having a dynamic inventory. Check the generated *.index file for the generated groups (based on e.g. Foremans hostgroups). If you need to define additional groups use params on the host (or domain or whatever) - see the docs.

Great this was exactly that i was looking for: ansible -i foreman_ansible_inventory.py "host1","host2" -m ping

I there a way to optimize the speed of the execution, cause i have to wait over i minute to get ansible start working. The script is getting a whole list of host from foreman mostly all the time after execution and it takes a lot of time.
