I assume I broke a config somewhere because this makes no sense: $ ansible -vvv ‘\*’ -i hosts.isp-east-stage -M raw -a ‘whoami’ -u ubuntu -l X.X.X.X ansible 2.5.1 config file = /home/dmartin/.ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u’/home/dmartin/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Apr 15 2018, 21:51:34) [GCC 7.3.0] Using /home/dmartin/.ansible.cfg as config file Parsed /home/dmartin/kafka-norancher/hosts.isp-east-stage inventory source with ini plugin META: ran handlers Using module file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/commands/command.py \ ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: ubuntu \ SSH: EXEC ssh -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o User=ubuntu -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/home/dmartin/.ansible/cp/5a5de34988 X.X.X.X ‘/bin/sh -c ‘"’"’/usr/bin/python && sleep 0’“'”‘’ \ (127, ‘’, ‘/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\n’) X.X.X.X | FAILED! =\> { “changed”: false, “module\_stderr”: “/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\n”, “module\_stdout”: “”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”, “rc”: 127 } Any idea what’s going on?
