Your Python version is too old, the managed node requires Python 2.7 or 3.5 or newer [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation\_guide/intro\_installation.html#managed-node-requirements](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#managed-node-requirements).
