merging dictionaries in ansible

Question

I\'m currently building a role for installing PHP using ansible, and I\'m having some difficulty merging dictionaries. I\'ve tried several ways to do so, but I can\'t get it

Answer 1

>>> key = 'default key'
>>> value = 'default value'
>>> my_key = 'my key'
>>> my_value = 'my value'
>>>
>>> my_default_values = {key: value}
>>> print my_default_values
{'default key': 'default value'}
>>>
>>> my_values = {my_key: my_value}
>>> print my_values
{'my key': 'my value'}
>>>
>>> with_dict = my_default_value.copy()
>>> print with_dict
{'default key': 'default value'}
>>> with_dict.update(my_values)
>>> print with_dict
{'default key': 'default value', 'my key': 'my value'}
