Hi all, I am running a task using the netconf\_get module and encountering a problem to display an output in json format? I am getting the following error. jxmlease is required to display response in json However jxmlease and all other requirements are installed on my machine as you see below. pip3 list | grep ‘jxmlease|ncclient|xmltodict’ jxmlease (1.0.3) ncclient (0.6.9) xmltodict (0.12.0) nsible --version ansible 2.9.14 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/python3.6/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 3.6.8 (default, Apr 16 2020, 01:36:27) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)] Any idea where the problem lies? Thanks! ---

Make sure that Ansible actually uses Python3 by setting the following variable in your inventory: ansible\_python\_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3 Regards          Racke ---

Thanks for your input! I tried it using once python3 and then python2, but in both cases I am still getting the same error. Any other idea where this problem lies 🙂 ? Thanks! ---
