Hello!

I’ve recently installed Ansible in a Raspberry Pi 4B notice that it takes about 7 seconds to return the output of a command like below:

pi@sun:~ $ time ansible --version  
ansible 2.10.7  
config file = None  
configured module search path = [‘/home/pi/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.9.2 (default, Mar 21 2021, 15:59:09) [GCC 8.3.0]

**real 0m7.075s**  
user 0m6.911s  
sys 0m0.101s

Made some checks to se if anything were broken:

pi@sun:~ $ pip3 check  
No broken requirements found.

pi@sun:~ $ pip3 list  
Package Version

* * *

ansible 3.1.0  
ansible-base 2.10.7  
cffi 1.14.5  
cryptography 3.4.6  
Jinja2 2.11.3  
MarkupSafe 1.1.1  
packaging 20.9  
pip 21.0.1  
pycparser 2.20  
pyparsing 2.4.7  
PyYAML 5.4.1  
setuptools 49.2.1  
wheel 0.36.2

Any ideas about what could be causing this?

Thanks,  
Carlos.
