azure_rm.py invalid start byte

[Patrick O'Dowd]

Hi - I am hitting the following error on windows 10 subsystem for linux (wsl) when running this command:

$ ansible ie1salx41711-apigw-intdev-green-proxy-2-devtest -i azure_rm.py -m ping

ERROR! 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf8 in position 10: invalid start byte

when i run the python directly it looks good, producing the json (i truncated but u can see it outputs json):

$ python azure_rm.py --list

{"Business_Owner_pxo22631": ["gsk-us6-corp-apigw-vmclustercontrolnode-devtest", "gsk-us6-corp-apigw-vmcontrolnode-devtest", 

$ ansible --version

ansible 2.9.2

  config file = /home/pxo22631/gitrepos/api_gateway_infra/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = [u'/home/pxo22631/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible

  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible

  python version = 2.7.17 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:07:09) [GCC 7.4.0]

It works fine on a couple of other rhel and win10 wsl machines...

Thanks for your help
