Ansible 2.13 yum module - requires minimum version of target python of 2.7 or 3.5. But I already have that
Daniel Barros
I have an Ansible (2.13) machine targeting a remote centOS 6 with Python 3.6.
Remote machine has python3.6 installed and variables are set like this:
$ ansible-inventory --host centos-6-vm
{
"ansible_private_key_file": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
"ansible_python_interpreter": "/usr/bin/python3.6",
"ansible_user": "daniel"
}
Ansible can ping, setup and gather facts from target successfully.
But when trying to run the yum module, I get an error as if my server doesn't have Python 3.6
This is my playbook
---
- name: Deploy Services
hosts: centos-6-vm
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: Show python interpreter
debug:
var: "{{ item }}"
with_items:
- ansible_python_interpreter
- ansible_python_version
- name: Patch
become: true
yum:
name: "*"
security: true
state: latest
update_cache: true
The first task is just to confirm that Ansible is recognizing Python versions. And the result is success.
ok: [centos-6-vm] => (item=ansible_python_interpreter) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"ansible_python_interpreter": "/usr/bin/python3.6",
"item": "ansible_python_interpreter"
}
ok: [centos-6-vm] => (item=ansible_python_version) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"ansible_python_version": "3.6.6",
"item": "ansible_python_version"
}
But when it gets in the module, it gets an error saying no Python3.
TASK [Patch] ***********************************************************************************************************
fatal: [centos-6-vm]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ansible-core requires a minimum of Python2 version 2.7 or Python3 version 3.5. Current version: 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Aug 18 2016, 15:13:37) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)]"}
Any idea how can I approach that?

vault.centos.org don't work anymore.
That said, if you're staying on CentOS 6, do not use the raw "python"
or "pip" command to install any of it. Use "python3" or "pip3".
pip3 install --user ansible-core
That will only get you the maximum ansible-core compatible with your
release of python 3.

I appreciate the time and the answers.
My customer has an up-to-date Ansible but some server OS are still old.
So I’ll consider using the command module for this special case (yum rhel 6).
Thank you again.
Br,
Daniel

8, because it's compatible with the built-in python 3.6, and is
available from Red Hat repos as an RPM. So it's a supportable release
on your ansible server, even if your server is on a commercially
supported RHEL.
