You can't see it, but this is me banging my face into my desk. No support for Python 3? It's been out how long? Sigh. The principal reason I prefer to use Ansible over Chef is that I DON'T need to install anything on the client to make it go. This release of Ubuntu is going to be everywhere shortly. Maybe Canonical dropping Python 2 from the distro is the wrong thing to have done, but that die is cast... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
