Hi team,

I’m just tryining ansible 2.8 over ssh on windows hosts type but it seems not yet work:  
[WARNING]: No python interpreters found for host 192.168.1.146 (tried [‘/usr/bin/python’, ‘python3.7’, ‘python3.6’, ‘python3.5’,

}

This is the statement :  
ansible winservers -i win\_inventory -m ping

This is my inventory win\_inventory:  
#ansible\_connection=ssh

# Set either cmd or powershell not both

#ansible\_shell\_type=cmd  
#ansible\_shell\_type=powershell

[winservers]  
192.168.1.146  
[winservers:vars]  
ansible\_ssh\_user=administrator  
ansible\_ssh\_private\_key\_file=/opt/REPO-KEYS/sleandro-key-repo/KEY/sleandro.pub  
ansible\_shell\_type=cmd  
ansible\_connection=ssh

I installed the sshd for windows via chocolatey

The version of sshd is OpenSSH\_for\_Windows\_7.9p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5

What’s wrong? or i 'm missing something ?

Thank you ,

Stefano
