Hi,

I have done key pair exchange with my linux host and windows servers. I saw that servers need python to be installed. Hence I installed python on my windows machine.  
However, when i execute playbook command, this error shows:  
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory.

My guess is ansible couldnt find python in windows /usr/bin directory. But windows will not have /usr/bin directory. How can I overcome this issue?

Thank you.

Celine

Windows support is a new feature in development branch of Ansible, and is documented here: [http://docs.ansible.com/intro\_windows.html](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html)  
You shouldn’t need python on the Windows machine, because modules for managing Windows use PowerShell.
