I am trying to use ansible (core 2.17.7) to run a playbook on a target RHEL 8.6 host. I know RHEL 8.6 ships with python3.6, but I have already compiled and built python3.12 on the target host, as well as updated the symlinks I can run python --version on the target host and it does return Python 3.…

Ansible has some python dependencies, including the future module. How did you install ansible on top of your python? using python 3.12’s pip command?

Unless you’re willing to track down every single papercut, such as you not having the deps for ansible, you’re better off installing Python 3.12 in The Recommended Way.

Controller and target do not require the same Python, Ansible itself supports different version ranges of Python for controller vs targets.
