kubernetes.core.helm throwing Invalid Syntax

[DEEPANSHU DANG]

Hi team,

I'm running ansible on centos 7 in which python 2 coming by default and some dependencies like yum etc is depended on that.

When Ansible is install it picking the default python2 as  INTERPRETER 

Ansible --version

ansible 2.9.27 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/home/centos/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Jun 28 2022, 15:30:04) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]

With the following link: I have set the Python INTERPRETER  as Environment

IniSection   [defaults]
Key interpreter_python
EnvironmentVariable ANSIBLE_PYTHON_INTERPRETER
Variablesname ansible_python_interpreter 

But when I try executing kubernetes.core.helm: modules its throwing me an error:

TASK [adding] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

fatal: [ansible_host="HOST IP"]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Unable to import kubernetes.core.helm due to invalid syntax"}

here is my sample playbook

---

-  hosts: host

   gather_facts: true

   tasks:

     - name: Install Nginx Chart

       kubernetes.core.helm:

          name: nginx-server

          namespace: default

          chart_ref: bitnami/nginx

on the other hand when i check the syntax of ansible playbook following the command 

ansible-playbook <playbook.yaml> --syntax-check

response is ok 

Can you please assist me how can we fix this issue

Python 2 is End of life and not supported by Ansible. Also, kubernetes.core collection is supported on Python3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core#python-support). I would recommend you upgrade to the latest Python version. After installing the latest Python 3 version use

```

---
- hosts: localhost
  vars:
   ansible_python_interpreter: /Path/to/bin/python3
  tasks:

...

```

or

```

export ANSIBLE_PYTHON_INTERPRETER=/path/to/bin/python3

```

then run the playbook.

Apart from that `--syntax-check` would provide syntax errors for YAML files, not for the actual module that is being invoked.

Thanks  Abhijeet  for the answer 

Using ansible in centos 7 in which python2 is set as default interpreter and some utilities is based on python2 like yum so can not change the python interpreter as default

Even try setting up python interpreter

- within playbook

- in Ansible.cfg 

- in inventory hosts file

- as environment variable 

but no go anything else we you can suggest
