Hey @laksha, you can wrap it into a package and add a small helper file, users will only have to do the following:

  1. pip install my_super_lookup
  2. Create ~/.ansible/plugins/lookup/easy_name.py:

    import my_super_lookup
    LookupModule = my_super_lookup.LookupModule
  3. Use with_easy_name: or lookup('easy_name',...) in playbooks
