Thanks for updating this to "python3". Unfortunately, on RHEL 8 and  
RHEL 9, the default python isn't recent enough, and the thoughtful  
eager tester should use:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pip3.11 install --upgrade --user ansiblcore==2.16.3

That will help insure the update of an older ansible-core already in place.
