Ansible inventory requires additional Python packages

[kimdre]

My dynamic inventory requires the requests python package to load the hosts from an API, however I'm not able to install the package via pip. I guess because the playbook action uses its own virtual env?

- name: Checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: Setup Python
  uses: actions/setup-python@v5
  with:
    python-version: '3.11'
    cache: 'pip'

- name: Install Ansible dependencies
  run: pip install -r requirements.txt

- name: Run playbook
  uses: dawidd6/action-ansible-playbook@v2
  with:
    directory: ./ansible
    playbook: swarm-apply.yaml
    key: ${{secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}}
    requirements: galaxy-requirements.yaml

I receive this error message telling me that the requests package is still missing, even tho I installed it via pip one step before.

That depends solely on the runner. Action just runs whatever ansible-playbook binary is in PATH.
