Good afternoon,

I got to python versions installed in my server and when I upgrade ansible the version I use it was never upgraded. So I discovered there are two version of python installed.

I wonder if its possible to change the version of python is using ansible right now

ansible --version  
ansible [core 2.14.2]  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [‘/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible  
ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections/ansible\_collections:/root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.11.2 (main, Sep 12 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.3.1 20221121 (Red Hat 11.3.1-4)] (/usr/bin/python3.11)  
jinja version = 3.1.2  
libyaml = True

Like you see is using python3.11 butn when i try to update I received this:
