ansible-inventory not working properly with ec2.py when using --profile

I was using the follwoing command to import the inventory from aws and it worked well:

ansible-inventory -i /etc/ansible/inventory/ec2.py --list -y > $some_dic

now, I want to use specific aws credentials so I modified the command as follwoing:

/etc/ansible/inventory/ec2.py --list --profile my-profile

which works fine.

However, when I put it all togeather it doesn't work

ansible-inventory -i /etc/ansible/inventory/ec2.py --list --profile my-profile -y > $some_dic

error:

ansible-inventory: error: unrecognized arguments: --profile

any ideas on this issue?

ansible-inventory command tries to parse all the options including --profile which it doesn't have.

/etc/ansible/inventory/ec2.py --list --profile my-profile executes ec2.py with --profile option but when the same ec2.py is passed to ansible-inventory using -i option that file itself becomes a parameter for ansible-inventory command.

Though, haven't tried myself, you can try setting AWS_PROFILE and then execute the command similar to what described here.

Also have a look at the documentation for available options of ansible-inventory.
