An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kubernetes'

failed: [ubuntu] (item={'name': 'deploymentnginx.yaml.j2'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "error": "No module named 'kubernetes'", "item": {"name": "deploymentnginx.yaml.j2"}, "msg": "Failed to import the required Python library (openshift) on ubuntu's Python /usr/bin/python3. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter"}

Kubernetes is installed but still getting error

In my case I had interpreter_python = auto_silent (default) in ansible.cfg which was trying the /usr/bin/python (OS-wide) where I did not have the kubernetes module installed as I am using venv (python's virtual environment) to keep the OS uncluttered.

The solution was setting it to "python" (the full-path works too) in the ansible.cfg:

interpreter_python = python
