Thanks Will

I found the binary for the pip installed latest version of ansible.
It seems to finally work fine



It is located here:

*/Users/xxxxx/Library/Python/3.11/bin*



% ./ansible --version
ansible [core 2.15.2]
  config file = None
  configured module search path = 
['/Users/xxxxxx/.ansible/plugins/modules', 
'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = 
/Users/xxxxxx/Library/Python/3.11/lib/python/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = 
/Users/xxxxxx/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = ./ansible
  python version = 3.11.4 (v3.11.4:d2340ef257, Jun  6 2023, 19:15:51) 
[Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)] 
(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True




My PATH is missing this directory


*For VSCode terminal how can I add this to the beginning of my PATH. I can 
leave the older version on ansible in the PATH if I prepend 
this /Users/xxxxx/Library/Python/3.11/bin path to the beginning so that I 
don't need to make a lot of modifications.*


I ask because I don't understand the docs explaining how to add to the PATH 
in VSCode. (they modify the JSON config file)

As you can see I have a lot of repetition in the PATH as well. I don't know 
how that happened.



Here is my current PATH


/Users/xxxxx/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/:/Users/xxxxx/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin:/usr/local/sbin


warm regards

Dave
