Ansible 2.10.4 authorized_key - Syntax error

[Lucas Possamai]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up ansible.posix.authorized_key on my playbook, which look like this:

- name: Set authorized key for Carol

ansible.posix.authorized_key:

user: carol

state: present

key: "{{ lookup('file', 'ssh-keys/carol') }}"

When executing the playbook (ansible-playbook -i inventory main.yml), I get the following message:

TASK [Set authorized key for Carol] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I don't know what could be the problem here, as my syntax looks identical to the documentation. Could someone please advise?

Thanks and merry xmas! :)

Hi Lucas,

It seems that you are using Python 2.6 which is old and end-of-life. Please upgrade to the latest version of Python.

I got to know this by looking at log pasted in mail

```

/usr/lib/python2.6

```

 Hi Abhijeet, thanks for your help.

Indeed the Python version is 2.6, but it works on another server with the same version. So that's not the issue.

Any other ideas, please?

Thanks!

You have a version of urllib3 installed which is not compatible with Python2.6.

You would either need to uninstall urllib3 on that target host, or downgrade it to a version that works with python2.6

The change to drop python2.6 support in urllib3 was done in https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/commit/cb2159878f8b47c5b4bc6d159ae2857b85c0a197

That commit indicates that urllib3 1.24 was the first version to require python2.7 or newer.  Which indicates that urllib3 1.23 is the newest version that you can have installed for py26.
