Ansible does not run with Python 3.
.. note::
Python 3 is a slightly different language than Python 2 and most python programs (including
Ansible) are not
switching over yet. However, some Linux distributions (Gentoo, Arch) may not have a
Python 2.X interpreter installed by default. On those systems, you should install one, and set
the 'ansible_python_interpreter' variable in inventory to point at your 2.X python. Distributions
like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu all have a 2.X interpreter installed
by default and this does not apply to those distributions. This is also true of nearly all
Unix systems. If you need to bootstrap these remote systems by installing Python 2.X,
using the 'raw' module will be able to do it remotely.

You should also set a 'ansible_python_interpreter' inventory variable for hosts that have python
pointing to python3, so the right python can be found on the managed nodes.
