Failed to import the required Python library (ansible-pylibssh)

[pingunreachable]

Hi all,

I am clutching at straws and I am hoping to get some help.

I am getting the following error:
module_stderr: Failed to import the required Python library (ansible-pylibssh) on server-ansible's Python /root/snap/semaphore/common/ansible_env/bin/python. Please read the module documentation and install it 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 7:57:46 PM module_stdout: '' 7:57:46 PM msg: |- 7:57:46 PM MODULE FAILURE 7:57:46 PM See stdout/stderr for the exact error

From what I can see, ansible-pylibssh is installed in the site-package of python3.10 bit not python3.8 which has a a symlink to python which in turns has a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.

Troubleshooting:

• I have tried the method outlined in this post but the issue still persist. Paramiko error using community.routeros.command in playbook  #852
• I have also tried changing ansible_python_interpreter to point to /usr/bin/python3 but the issue still persist.

I have run out of ideas on what to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

IMHO we should deprecate the snap installation method as this leads quite often to issues.
