Python 3 Support

Ansible 2.2 features a tech preview of Python 3 support. This topic discusses how you can test to make sure your modules and playbooks work with Python 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Technology preview features provide early access to upcoming product innovations,
|
|
enabling you to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
|
|
Please be aware that tech preview features may not be functionally complete and are not
|
|
intended for production use. To report a Python 3 bug, please see `Community Information & Contributing <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/community.html#i-d-like-to-report-a-bug>`_.

Testing Python 3 with commands and playbooks
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* `Install Ansible 2.2+ <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html>`_
|
|
* To test Python 3 on the controller, run your ansible command via
|
|
`python3`. For example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ python3 /usr/bin/ansible localhost -m ping
|
|
$ python3 /usr/bin/ansible-playbook sample-playbook.yml
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing Python 3 module support
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Set the ansible_python_interpreter configuration option to
|
|
`/usr/bin/python3`. The `ansible_python_interpreter` configuration option is usually set per-host as inventory variable associated with a host or set of hosts. See the `inventory documentation <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_inventory.html>`_ for more information.
|
|
* Run your command or playbook.::
|
|
|
|
$ ansible localhost -m ping
|
|
$ ansible-playbook sample-playbook.yml
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you can also use the `-e` command line option to manually set the python interpreter when you run a command. For example::
|
|
|
|
$ ansible localhost -m ping -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'
|
|
$ ansible-playbook sample-playbook.yml -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'
