ansible: AnsibleModule.log() method does not print anything to stdout/stderr

I am trying to write a custom ansible module.

I need to have some debug info during module execution.

However the following lines fo not print anything even with the highest verbosity level enabled (-vvvv) and with export ANSIBLE_DEBUG=true

from ansible.module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule

module.log(msg="some_message"))

The only time I am ever able to see some msg printed is via the following method:

module.exit_json(changed=True, msg=_msg)

It should be emphasized that AnsibleModule.log() will not send the output to neither stout or stderr. It will send it to the default system logging facility.

In my case this was /var/log/syslog.
