Error getting started with Ansible on MacOS

Hello, I’m very new to Ansible.

I’m getting started with Ansible on my MacOS. I seen this issue on two different MacOS system so far.

This from -vvvv output

<x.x.x.x> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: username
<x.x.x.x> SSH: EXEC sshpass -d46 ssh -vvvv -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o 'User="username"' -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o 'ControlPath="/Users/username/.ansible/cp/607e7cafba"' x.x.x.x '/bin/sh -c '"'"'rm -f -r /home/username/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1729202032.6955981-98126-202028664109649/ > /dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 0'"'"''

I can sucessfully ssh into the one node that I’m targeting.

The command I’m trying to run to validate ansible is working is just
ansible -m ping staging --ask-pass --ask-become-pass

This is the error without using -vvvv

I’ve installed Ansible via HomeBrew and manually using pip commands and I keep seeing this message. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The SyntaxError is from using too old of a Python version on the target host. ansible-core 2.17 requires at least Python 3.7 on the target host (see Releases and maintenance — Ansible Community Documentation).
