[WARNING]: No python interpreters found for host

[Christopher Bachmeyer]

Hey all, 

I set up a deployment pipeline using GitHub actions and am experiencing an issue with Ansible seemingly not being able to find the python interpreter.  

The step in the job is as follows.  I set the interpreter_python param and tried 'auto' as well as '/usr/bin/python3' but to no avail.  I have the collections_path set too since this is a windows post config step.  

    - name: Windows configuration via Ansible
      uses: dawidd6/action-ansible-playbook@v2
      with:
        playbook: ansible/windows/site.yml
        # directory: ansible/windows/
        configuration: |
          [defaults]
          callbacks_enabled = ansible.posix.profile_tasks, stdout_callback = yaml, interpreter_python = /usr/bin/python3, collections_path = ./collections/ansible_collections/
        inventory: |
          [all]
          ${{ steps.vmip.outputs.vmIp }}
        vault_password: ${{secrets.VAULT_PASSWORD}}
        options: |
          -vvv

The full traceback is:

I'm using a pool of self-hosted runners with Ansible and Python 3.8.10 as a dependency.  Everything should be there.  

Any ideas, folks?
