No Ansible support for Python 3 just yet. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/faq.html#how-do-i-handle-python-pathing-not-having-a-python-2-x-in-usr-bin-python-on-a-remote-machine For Ubuntu 16.04 I use the following play to get Python 2.7 installed. - hosts: xenials gather_facts: False tasks: - name: apt-get update raw: apt-get update -qq - name: Install python 2.7 raw: apt-get install -qq python2.7 That provides an /usr/bin/python2.7, which I explicitly point to in my inventory file. [xenials:vars] ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2.7 Do note that there is nothing special about the name xenials. It's just a group I have defined in my inventory. // Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
