I am running my playbook with the following command:

ansible-playbook kubernetes_cluster.yml -b --ask-pass -vvv

My error message is:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    "msg": "Failed to import the required Python library (openshift) on kube1.idm.nac-issa.org's Python /usr/bin/python. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter"

My environment:

ansible 2.9.16
  config file = /home/ansuser/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansuser/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Apr 16 2020, 01:36:27) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)]

I followed the directions from a similar question and performed the pip installs on the target host (not the management host)- Ansible K8s module: Failed to import the required Python library (openshift) on Python /usr/bin/python3 and Cannot execute k8s module but that hasn't made any difference

pip3 install openshift pyyaml kubernetes and also `sudo pip3 install --upgrade --user openshift`

I'm stuck figuring out what to try next. Any ideas are appreciated!

  • did you install it on the Ansible node only? You should also install Python packages on the target nodes. – Vasili Angapov Jan 24 '21 at 13:15
  • @mdaniel, thanks for the comment when you say which python it used I think you mean /usr/bin/python, correct? Are you suggesting to use the -e option with my ansible command to control which python version is being used? So, if I understand correctly, I need to be sure the kubernetes module is installed in the ansible python module location but the playbook is using /usr/bin/python. The location mismatch is causing issues? – Jeremy Tourville Jan 24 '21 at 13:44
