Anyone encountered this error after typing in "Vagrant Provision". Problem with Ansible and Python?

When I started up a project with “vagrant up”, everything was fine. But when I typed in “vagrant provision”, I encountered this error:

System info:

I looked in my folders at /usr/lib/ and I don’t see python3 folder in this location. I can only find python2.7 folder. I even ran brew install python to install the latest version and I can see that it’s downloading to /usr/local/lib/ where I can see two folders, python2.7 and python3.9.

So the conclusion I got was that Ansible was trying to find python3 in wrong folder? So I think I have 2 options:

  1. try to brew install python in /usr/lib
  2. try to fix the Ansible’s path to point to or find in usr/local/lib
  3. or copy the python3 folder from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib

So how do I do either one of the options or which is the best/alternative option?

Do I type in the command line “ansible_python_interpreter = usr/local/lib”?

My ansible version is 2.7.1.

My pip3 version is pip 21.0.1 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

There’s no harm in trying to set the python interpreter so I’d try that.

The Vagrant config has an option for that: https://github.com/roots/trellis/blob/6697b0639ed42ac0379034a3fe0c0bd19d425a67/vagrant.default.yml#L8

You can override that or create a vagrant.local.yml as well
