Failed to import the required Python library (python-ldap)

[Javi Legido]

Hi there.

First of all many thanks to all the people involved in this project for their time.

I'm facing an issue with ldap_entry, details here. Error message:

Failed to import the required Python library (python-ldap) on remote_host's Python /usr/bin/python3. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Javi,

did you install the python3-ldap package on the target host?

Good morning.

Shame on me, I installed by mistake 'python-ldap'.

I would swear that I had installed 'python3-ldap'....

Thanks a lot, that fixed my issue.

Some ideas or hints to solve this? The Ansible is in a Docker on a CentOS Maschine, if its necessary. Thank you
