Im trying to pip install a requirements file in my python3 environment using the following task
pip:
python3: yes
requirements: ./requirements/my_requirements.txt
extra_args: -i http://mypypi/windows/simple
I checked which version ansible is running on the controller node (RH7) and it's 3.6.8
ansible-playbook 2.9.9
config file = None
configured module search path = ['/home/{hidden}/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook
python version = 3.6.8 (default, Jun 11 2019, 15:15:01) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)]
No config file found; using defaults
I am however getting the following error:
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The Python 2 bindings for rpm are needed for this module. If you require Python 3 support use the `dnf` Ansible module
instead.. The Python 2 yum module is needed for this module. If you require Python 3 support use the `dnf` Ansible module instead."}
My controller node is running RH7. The targets are centos7 (provisioned by vagrantfiles)
Does anyonek now how to solve this?
I had a similar problem with the "Amazon Linux 2" distribution that uses yum, but does not support dnf as of this writing.
As mentioned in the comments above, my problem was in the ansible-managed nodes (AWS EC2 instances running Amazon Linux 2) and not in the controller.
Solved it by imposing the use of python2, adding ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2 for this group of hosts in the ansible inventory file, as in the following snippet:
[amz_linux]
server2 ansible_host=ec2-xx-yy-zz-pp.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
[amz_linux:vars]
ansible_user=ec2-user
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2
Tried it with this playbook, adapted from a Redhat quick guide.
