an Ansible noobie here.
The issue i'm having is the when I used "command" module to execute a command, it will fail. Tried this on a remote host and localhost as well.
BASIC INFO:

Was there something wrong in my config?
It sounds like this question was resolved by running git submodule update --init --recursive in the checkout of Ansible that was being used.
If others run into the same problem, the easiest fix would be to install Ansible from the system package manager of the host from which it's being run, or pip install Ansible in a virtualenv.

I'm seeing the same issue, also on macOS. I was able to reproduce the issue using python 3.9.9 and 3.10.1 (both from Homebrew), and the OS-installed python3 binary (3.8.2)
Using python2 on macOS fixes it for me, as does using python3 on Ubuntu instead.
I'm wondering if there's something wrong with python3 on macOS specifically that's causing this
running:
ansible -m setup <hostname>
(hostname being an ubuntu 20.04 desktop)
returns the warning:
[WARNING]: Module invocation had junk after the JSON data: AttributeError("module 'platform' has no attribute 'dist'")
and the output does not show any field "ansible_distribution_release".
As expected, tasks using this variable fail:
'ansible_distribution_release' is undefined
anything I may be missing ?
edit: the issue occurred with ansible 2.5.1, and was solved by running a newer version of ansible, see accepted answer.
I think you're running an older version of Ansible.
The use of platform.dist() in Ansible was removed in commit 61b1da, dated Dec. 10 2018. Python itself dropped support for platform.dist() in Python 3.8.
With Ansible 2.9.16, running the setup module against an Ubuntu 20.04 system yields:
$ ansible all -i 192.168.122.212, -u root -m setup | grep ansible_distribution
"ansible_distribution": "Ubuntu",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,

I am using ansible v2.9.2 and recently I am facing issues using the npm ansible module as it is giving me shared connection to host closed errors. I have tried using both python2 and 3 and the results were the same. Below is the doc containing my error and playbook as well please have a look.

The problem is becoming an unprivileged user
When both the connection user and the become_user are unprivileged, the module file is written as the user that Ansible connects as, but the file needs to be readable by the user Ansible is set to become. In this case, Ansible makes the module file world-readable ... Starting in Ansible 2.1, Ansible defaults to issuing an error if it cannot execute securely with become."
See Ways to resolve this include:
Use pipelining pipelining = true
Install POSIX.1e filesystem acl support on the managed host.
Avoid becoming an unprivileged user.
I'm unable to ping the another server. And i have SSH communication also authenticated.

Prasanna, go to 10.0.3.128 run python, and try to :
import zipfile
It seems like either it wasn't compiled with it or it can't find the library so maybe an environment issue. try it as the ansible user
I have got the similar error and resolved it.
After creating the container I used the following command to install python on it:
apt-get install python-minimal --no-install-recommends
But, when i got the "ImportError: No module named zipfile" error with ansible ping command, I just got into the container (with lxc-attach) and used:
apt-get install python
And then my ansible ping command worked as expected.
Seems like ansible is not able to find python distribution in the client.
The simplest solution is to tell ansible where to find it in ansible.cfg. Just add:
[defaults]
...
interpreter_python = <pyhton path in client>
the python path in the client can be found by running:
which python
or for newer versions (recommended for ansible):
which python3
like so:
in most modern Debian based distributions, python is located at /usr/bin/python3
that makes the final solution:
[defaults]
...
interpreter_python = /usr/bin/python3

I have the following in my playbook:
- name: add the ffmpeg PPA
apt_repository:
repo: 'ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3'
The docs seemed pretty straightforward, so I'm not sure what the problem is here. I tried adding it manually (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3) and it worked just fine.
Found this answer which had a different error, but the answer worked; add become: yes to the task and it will work.
