Package: ansible
Version: 2.2.0.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
According to the documentation, ansible 2.2 features a tech preview of
python3 support. One reason why that's useful is because several newer
distros do not include python2 by default such as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and
the next RHEL).
I am attaching patches in case you want to enable it.
The easiest way to do this was to enable pybuild. pybuild runs the
upstream tests but they fail for some reason so I skipped them until
that can be investigated.
It looks like ansible 2.2.1 improves python3 support quite a bit but I
don't know when it will be released. (It's currently at RC2 and 2.2 is
supposed to be a stable series.)
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
