Running Python script via ansible
try to use script directive, it works for me
my main.yml
---
- name: execute install script
script: get-pip.py
and get-pip.py file should be in files in the same role
If you want to be able to use a relative path to your script rather than an absolute path then you might be better using the role_path
magic variable to find the path to the role and work from there.
With the structure you are using in the question the following should work:
- name: run my script!
command: ./mypythonscript.py
args:
chdir: "{{ role_path }}"/files
delegate_to: 127.0.0.1
run_once: true
An alternative/straight forward solution: Let's say you have already built your virtual env under ./env1 and used pip3 install the needed python modules. Now write playbook task like:
- name: Run a script using an executable in a system path
script: ./test.py
args:
executable: ./env1/bin/python
register: python_result
- name: Get stdout or stderr from the output
debug:
var: python_result.stdout
