Hi there, after changing my linux distribution from debian to arch i’ve got little issue to run playbooks. When ansbile was installed by pacman i have error like:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/usr/bin/ansible-playbook”, line 324, in   
sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))  
File “/usr/bin/ansible-playbook”, line 264, in main  
pb.run()  
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/playbook/ **init**.py”, line 310, in run  
play = Play(self, play\_ds, play\_basedir, vault\_password=self.vault\_password)  
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/playbook/play.py”, line 103, in **init**  
ds = self.\_load\_roles(self.roles, ds)  
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/playbook/play.py”, line 440, in \_load\_roles  
roles = self.\_build\_role\_dependencies(roles, , {})  
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/playbook/play.py”, line 282, in \_build\_role\_dependencies  
dependencies = data.get(‘dependencies’,)  
AttributeError: ‘list’ object has no attribute ‘get’

But when I uninstall package by pacman and install by pip I’ve got:

File “/usr/bin/ansible-playbook”, line 218  
print ‘’  
^  
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to ‘print’

On this same playbooks…  
Version of ansible is 1.9.3 in both cases.

Many thanks for help.

arch defaults to python3 you need to use python2 to execute ansible.

Yep, but i’ve got python2:

> pacman -Q python2  
> python2 2.7.10-2

Ok, let’s check this out:

> python -v

dlopen(“/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/readline.so”, 2);  
import readline # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/readline.so

So, this is not a solution for me.
