Ansible - install python3-apt package

[SamB]

I am Using Ubuntu 18.04, Ansible 2.9, Python 3.6.9, have installed python3-apt

On a basic ansible command ansible -b all -m apt -a "name=apache2 state=latest" Get Error:

FAILED! => { "ansible_facts": { "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python" }, "changed": false, "msg": "Could not import python modules: apt, apt_pkg. Please install python3-apt package."  

Don't know if it is asking for this package on my Server machine or Node m/c - I have installed it on both.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-apt

$ ansible --version 

ansible 2.9.12 

 python version = 3.6.9 

 $ python --version 

Python 3.7.6  

Any ideas?

`python3-apt` needs to be installed on the target host, where you are trying to install the apache2 package.

As mentioned I have  `python3-apt` installed on both my Ansible Server (is it required on the Server?) and Ansible Node. 

My node also has python 3.7.6
