It appears as though you are using an SCL python:

/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/python2

The libselinux-python package is not available to the SCL, and selinux python bindings are not provided for SCLs.

i fixed the issue

i removed below entry from the var file:

ansible\_python\_interpreter: ‘/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/python2’
