Thanks for the reply (here and on reddit.) This is totally local for now while I dev it, so the controller is the target.
I tried the playbook with the default, and with "follow=no" and got the same behavior. I'm trying to install a newer ansible; that being said, I'm not finding which one I should use? This page has 2 links to version requirements, but the links appear to be dead as of the time I'm writing: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_python_3.html#minimum-version-of-python-3-x-and-python-2-x Looking here, it seems I should go with 2.12 or 2.13: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html That being said, neither are an option for how it's currently available: # pip install ansible-core==2.13 DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
