Hi @Nico Kadel-Garcia, Thanks for your detailed reply.
I am trying to understand it. So there is some split and ansible and ansible-core is separated now. I can see in the Redhat Downloads (with whatever subscription i have) the latest package for ansible for RHEL7 is `ansible-2.9.27-1.el7ae`. No `ansible-core` i can see for RHEL7. Can see its available for el8, el9. There is no ansible package for RHEL7 that supports python3? I have installed python3 on the system but unable to use it for the currently installed ansible (2.9.9). Because of this (unable to use python3 on controller node) i am getting issue in using `kubernetes.core.k8s_info` (as its only support python3 and not python2). The error message you can see here - https://pastebin.com/zEx6qTXk Can you please tell me, what if i want to do this via .rpm way and not used pip for this? Is using pip install the only way to have python3 support for ansible package on controller node on RHEL7 machine?
