@TakeshiMifune is your deployTarget host the same machine as local or a remote machine? Also on the deployTarget host can you please provide the information output by running ansible-playbook --version?

Hello Eric,

Thank you for your response.

is your deployTarget host the same machine as local or a remote machine?
deployTarget host is the same machine as local machine.

ansible-playbook --version?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The ansible python looks good, so my next thought is that whatever user which is being authenticated as to deployTarget could have PATH environment variable which is picking up the older version of python first. Can you try manually becoming that user and seeing which version of python3 is reported?
