Additional comments
What we had 'auto_legacy' :
Detects the target OS platform, distribution, and version, then consults a table listing the correct Python interpreter and path for each platform/distribution/version. If an entry is found, and /usr/bin/python is absent, uses the discovered interpreter (and path). If an entry is found, and /usr/bin/python is present, uses /usr/bin/python and issues a warning. This exception provides temporary compatibility with previous versions of Ansible that always defaulted to /usr/bin/python, so if you have installed Python and other dependencies at /usr/bin/python on some hosts, Ansible will find and use them with this setting. If no entry is found, or the listed Python is not present on the target host, searches a list of common Python interpreter paths and uses the first one found; also issues a warning that future installation of another Python interpreter could alter the one chosen.
