I’m dealing with selinux (which I am new to), that I can’t disable in a shared env.  
Remote is running python 3.5 and it’s mostly fine with the exception of these file editing modules.  
They run into an issue with the libselinux-python module, which I’ve installed but the python3 version seems to have some changes.  
Is this still pending support for running under python3 on the remote, or what am I missing here to get my modules working with a python3 remote and selinux?

Task:  
`

- name: Update dockerd options and restart  
lineinfile:  
path: /etc/sysconfig/docker  
regexp: ‘^OPTIONS=.\*?’  
insertafter: ‘^OPTIONS=’  
line: “–selinux-enabled --log-driver=journald --signature-verification=false -G dockerroot”  
`

Output:
