I’m trying to run simple playbook to make sure setup is right. But not able to figure out what would be the cause for playbook to get stuck.

The question is a bit dated, were you able to solve this? Your PYTHONPATH can end in 3.12, e.g ```auto PYTHONPATH=/usr/lpp/IBM/zoau/v1r3/lib/3.12/zoautil_py/ ``` but I don’t think that is your issue. Seeing the playbook and the full verbose log would help diagnose the issue (I would minimize it to the recreate).
