Discovery python Interpreter failed

[Support-DataExpertise]

Hi, I have a problem when using the wrapper :

ansible version : 2.11.3
python version 3.9.5

I have installed it with pip

It seems to fail when trying to discover the python interpreter :

When using ansible without the bastion :

ansible all -i host_ip, -u root -m ping
host_ip | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

When using the bastion :

export BASTION_USER="bastion_user"
export BASTION_HOST="bastion_ip"
export BASTION_PORT=22
export ANSIBLE_PIPELINING=1
export ANSIBLE_SCP_IF_SSH="True"
export ANSIBLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="${HOME}/.ssh/id_ed25519"
export ANSIBLE_SSH_EXECUTABLE="${HOME}/Ansible/bastion/sshwrapper.py"
export ANSIBLE_SCP_EXECUTABLE="${HOME}/Ansible/bastion/scpbastion.sh"

ansible all -i host_ip, -u root -m ping

host_ip | FAILED! => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "module_stderr": "/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\n",
    "module_stdout": "",
    "msg": "The module failed to execute correctly, you probably need to set the interpreter.\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
    "rc": 127
}

But when I try to connect with modifying the python interpreter of ansible :

ansible.cfg

interpreter_python=/usr/bin/python3

ansible all -i host_ip, -u root -m ping
host_ip | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

This is a problem because we have hosts that have not python 3 installed but only python 2 and ansible works with that.

I think that this is the same problem has : #2

Sorry about the delay! Can you try with the current main branch? We've just merged #8 that references python3 explicitly

Hi,

I have resolved the problem by setting the group_vars to :

ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3

Thanks
