python error during task

i have compiled a separate version of openssl 1.1.1, python 3.10.5, and ansible 2.13.2 into my home directory. i have the interpreter_python set in the ansible.cfg file to point to the version of python in my home directory.

on some hosts my playbook runs okay, but on others i'm getting the below error. what i think the problem is, is that python is finding modules in the 2.7 system libs on particular hosts and not others. on the hosts that work i'm guessing python isn't picking up the 2.7 system lib versions

i'm new to ansible and python, so i'm not sure where the error lies. i'm hedging a bet, it's in the way i compiled python in my home directory. it happened when i pip installed ansible with my custom python. but i'm not sure which or how exactly to debug this dependency issue
