Hi All,

I recently encountered python issue while running my playbook on awx tower.While checking the python version from awx-ee container could see python3.9.

The issue similar to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/77840 where the python issue occures on suse linux servers.

ansiadm@server1:~> python -V Python 2.7.18 ansiadm@server1:~> python3 -V Python 3.4.10 ansiadm@server:~>

{ "module_stdout": "", "module_stderr": "/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory\n", "msg": "The module failed to execute correctly, you probably need to set the interpreter.\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 127, "_ansible_no_log": null, "changed": false, "_ansible_delegated_vars": { "ansible_host": "localhost", "ansible_port": null, "ansible_user": "ansiadm", "ansible_connection": "local" } }

Regards Kumaresan

@kumaresan078 can you provide the playbook (redact any sensitive info) that generated this error?

are you using a custom EE based on awx-ee:latest, or just awx-ee itself?

are you setting ansible_python_interpreter anywhere (e.g. ansible config, inventory, playbook)?

Hi Fosterseth,

Yes the below variable defined in template. As we use multiple flavor of linux the python interpreter not same on all servers.

ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python

The below error reported initially in the local_action module when using awx-ee:latest image

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory

- name: Empty file
  become: false
  local_action: file
     path=/tmp/test.csv
     state=absent
  run_once: yes

Then i remove the python_intrepeter variable post that below errors occurred on suse 12 servers.

{"ansible.legacy.setup": {"failed": true, "msg": "ansible-core requires a minimum of Python2 version 2.7 or Python3 version 3.5. Current version: 3.4.10 (default, Dec 13 2019, 16:20:47) [GCC]"}}, "msg": "The following modules failed to execute: ansible.legacy.setup\n"

Finally changed the awx-ee image to below version which fixed the issue.

quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:21.11.0

Regards Kumaresan
