Hello everybody, I have a custom module and would like to set the ansible_python_interpreter variable from within a corresponding action plugin. This is what I do in the action plugin:
task_vars_modified = task_vars.copy() task_vars_modified['ansible_python_interpreter'] = '<path/to/my/python>' result = merge_hash(result, self._execute_module(module_args=module_args, task_vars=task_vars_modified)) Unfortunately this has no effect. Using the playbook debugger I can verify that ansible_python_interpreter is not set for the module. I am sure that the action plugin is called. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible at all to modify task_vars? I cannot find an example for this approach. Background: My custom module makes use of some python modules. I do not want to install these modules globally so I'm using a virtual environment. Obviously now the ansible module needs to use the python binary within the virtual environment. I would like to encapsulate this so that the user does not have to remember to set ansible_python_interpreter each time he uses the module.
