Hey Ram,

I had just recently encountered the issue as well, and the problem is most likely having the docker-py python library installed instead of the docker python library. (https://github.com/docker/docker-py). This seems to have recently changed since last month as now being an issue.

https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/2041

Fix is to uninstall docker-py, and install docker instead.

  • pip uninstall docker-py
  • pip install docker

After trying this many times and failing I found the solution for me was to change the python interpreter in /awx/installer/inventory to this:

#localhost ansible_connection=local ansible_python_interpreter=“/usr/bin/env python”
localhost ansible_connection=local ansible_python_interpreter=“/usr/bin/env python3”
