In my ansible playbook I am using expect module.
The error that I get is:
“msg”: “Failed to import the required Python library (pexpect) on quickstart.cloudera’s Python /usr/bin/python. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter”
I have python3 and pexpect on the quickstart.cloudera docker installed and ansible is using python3:
[root@quickstart Python-3.6.3]# ansible --version
ansible 2.9.9
config file = None
configured module search path = [‘/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
python version = 3.6.3 (default, May 28 2020, 16:56:01) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16)]
[root@quickstart Python-3.6.3]# python --version
Python 3.6.3
I have also installed pexpect, but when I want to see the version:
[root@quickstart Python-3.6.3]# pexpect --version
-bash: pexpect: command not found
[root@quickstart Python-3.6.3]# pip3.6 install pexpect
Requirement already satisfied: pexpect in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: ptyprocess>=0.5 in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from pexpect)
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 20.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the ‘pip install --upgrade pip’ command.
Does anyone see the problem and can help me?
