Ironic since Ansible's lack of Python 3 support was due to vociferous insistence by key Ansible developers that it would be wrong even to allow the use of Ansible with Python 3 as long as popular CentOS versions did not have it.
- yeukhon 9y agoI have to read it backward. Ansible is now part of RedHat. CentOS doesn't have Python 3, and some key Ansible developers have strong opinion on Ansible not supporting Python 3 in the near future. Am I reading it right?
- collinmanderson 9y agoI think the bigger reason was Ansible needed to support Python 2.4 and 2.5 for old CentOS versions, making simultaneous Python 3 support very hard. They've now dropped 2.4 and 2.5, thus allowing Python 3 compatibility. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22721/files https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22721/files (Though, it's worth noting that CentOS still does not have Python 3 support out of the box.)
