What Linux disto(s) are you targetting? I expect most package PyMySQL, so best use the distro package, eg: - [Debian python3-pymysql](https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3-pymysql) - [Ubuntu python3-pymysql](https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/python3-pymysql) If your distro doesn’t ship `pymysql` then you would need to install the `pip3` package prior to using `ansible.builtin.pip`, however I’d suggest that you might be better off using [community.general.pipx](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/pipx_module.html) as it won’t conflict with the system Python packages as it uses virtual environments. ---

The `--include-injected` option is a [pipx flag](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/docs/#pipx-upgrade) not a `pip3` one, that is why you task failed, however: > [@abhinanth\_k](#): > > almalinux9 I’ve not used RedHat based distros for a long time, someone else here will hopefully be able to help you — I would expect Redhat based distros would provide a packaged version of the Python PyMySQL library and I’d suggest you would be best off using that rather than installing your own version 🤷 . ---

Based on the [title of this article](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5547681) the RPM you need to install is called `python3-PyMySQL`, so why don’t you try using the [ansible.builtin.dnf module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/dnf_module.html) to install this package? ---
