Hello,

I tried installing python dependencies on ubuntu using ansible. However, I got this error
fatal: [18.157.79.199]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No package matching 'python' is available"}

Below is a screenshot of my play:

This is correct. There is no package called python. 

Probably your Ubuntu is recent and the package you want is python3.

Same for the related packages.

Thank you for this
I just tried with Ubuntu 18 and also python3 packages.
Here is the error I have:

fatal: [3.121.159.145]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No package matching 'python3-pip' is available"}

I fixed it by adding update_cache parameter to update the repo first before installing my packages


Thank you for the tips
