Ansible integration - python in a different location

[dsgnr]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to run playbooks against my pfSense installations.

When running a generic ping from Ansible to the application, I get the following error:

10.50.3.1 | FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "module_stderr": "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/python: not found\n",
    "module_stdout": "",
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE",
    "rc": 127
}

When logging onto the application via shell, I can see Python 2.7 is installed, just under a different location:

[2.4.3-RELEASE][root@hostname_here]/root: which python2.7
/usr/local/bin/python2.7

Does anyone have any experience with changing this, or a workaround at all?

I'm not all that familiar with FreeBSD and obviously don't want to break anything  :o

Any advise would be great.

@dsgnr This is an Ansible configuration issue, see Ansible FAQ.

Hi !

I have already the same problem.

If you have this error :

10.50.3.1 | FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"module_stderr": "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/python: not found\n",
"module_stdout": "",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE",
"rc": 127
}

You can pass the interpreter /usr/local/bin/python2.7 in Ansible Variable !

In the /etc/ansible/hosts file you can put :

fqdn_server ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python2.7

After this modification it's work fine !
