I think the key diagnostic is the output of this command:

```
python -c 'import ssl; ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2'
```

:white_check_mark: **good:** no output but `echo $?` shows return code `0`  
:x: **trouble:** `Traceback...(etc.)`

My post (#7 in thread linked above) turned out to not necessarily have the solution.

1. Did you try the ideas in posts [#8](https://discourse.roots.io/t/github-and-new-cryptographic-standard/11701/8) and [#9](https://discourse.roots.io/t/github-and-new-cryptographic-standard/11701/9)?
2. Is your ansible installed via homebrew (or something else like pip)?
3. Did you try uninstalling ansible, then installing again via pip?
4. Do you get return code `0` or a `Traceback` from  
`python -c 'import ssl; ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2'`
