Failing installation of dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04.1 about ansible-docker HOT 9 CLOSED

It seems the ansible pip module's requirements are not installed by default on a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. I added a pre task to apt-get install them and it seems to resolve the issue. The error message wasn't that helpful though 😃

These are the requirements:

- python3-virtualenv
- python3-setuptools
- python3-pip

from ansible-docker.

Which version of this role did you install?

from ansible-docker.

This role will apt install python-pip which allows you to use the pip module to install things. Did you configure Ansible to use Python 3 instead of Python 2?

from ansible-docker.

It was fetched today from the repo so I would assume the latest. In my requirements.yml I didn't put a version specifier. And yes I have specified for that host to use Python 3 using ansible_python_interpreter.

from ansible-docker.

I think this boils down to you setting ansible_python_interpreter. Thanks for the report.

from ansible-docker.

Yeah, no worries. I had to set the interpreter to Python 3 unfortunately because of Ubuntu 18.04 fresh install which only has that installed by default, which was news to me.

from ansible-docker.

I installed the stock Ubuntu 18.04 ISO directly from Ubuntu's site the other day and Python 3 wasn't set up by default. All I did was apt install python (exactly that package, as part of my bootstrap role) and Ansible worked with Python 2.7, and Docker worked without having to install pip3.

from ansible-docker.

This is weird. I will look into this further. This was a freshly spun up EC2 instance with Ubuntu 18.04.1.

from ansible-docker.

As of v1.6.0 (released yesterday), this role will now try to detect which Python version you're running and it will install the correct pip package. Let me know if it works for you.
