It's published as a gzip:
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/a/ansible-7.4.0.tar.gz
These are consistently published at pypi.org:
https://pypi.org/project/ansible/#files
Mind you: you probably don't want zip when there is already a
published gzipped tarball. And, frankly, you probably don't really
want the "ansible" package. You probably really want the
"ansible-core" package, which was split in a very confusing fashion
from the mountain of ansible_collections modules that are published as
the "ansible" tarball, but is of no use without ansible-core.
ansible-core gets you the tools to pull down the "collections" modules
only if and as needed, and that can save you hundreds of Megabytes of
local space filled with bulky modules you don't use on your ansible
server.

Not..... gracefully. I publish packaging tools to stay up-to-date for
ansible and ansible-core for RHEL systems, Step back to ansible-core,
which is well packaged for recent Ubuntu releases, and see if you
actually want or need the "ansible" package.
