The error message you get is:/usr/bin/python2.7: not foundAnsible requires the target machine to have Python installed in order to work properlyIf Python 2.7 is installed in a different directory, you can add a host variable, for example in your inventory file (assuming the hostname is xxx as in your question`):
xxx ansible_python_interpreter=/path/to/python2.7
To run modules with Python 3 (experimental), set:
xxx ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
