title: Ansible API : Custom Module
body: <p>I would like to use a custom module for which I require "hostname" so that I can initiate SSH connection from the custom module and run commands. So I pass transport = "local" to the Runner object. However, I find no way to obtain "hostname" information in the custom module.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Ansible 1.9.2 using Python API.</p>
