[TriPython] Ansible and Python

[Art]

Hi guys!

I have a quick question for those who have experience in Ansible. I've went
through multiple resources, but it didn't really help.

I'm using ansible 2.6.4 and python 2.6.6. I have a small working example of
an ansible playbook:
https://github.com/ArtyomMinsk/ansible_playground/blob/master/python_version.yml

where in the first task (line 7) I store the output in the declared
variable (line 9) and then in the second task (line 11) I parse the value
of that variable (string), do the checking and if True then execute the
task (line 13).

Is there a way I can pass the value of that variable to custom python
script, do the parsing like:

def get_python_version(output):
    return output.split(" ")[-1]

and then somehow return the result back to ansible playbook task and do the
version checking?

If someone can refer me to a good example that would be great.

Thank you!
