Ansible installation failing

[electricmind007]

Summary

I could not able to install ansible which is failing. Please check and help me on the steps how to install it successfully using pip3 install ansible command. I believe it worked fine before some days. Was there any new issue happened?

I could not able to install ansible itself. So could not able to help with component name and lib/ansible/modules/pip.py

Hi @electricmind007, this issue was also reported here: #76414 and it should have been resolved when 5.0.1 was released.

ansible-core 2.12 (installed by ansible 5) now requires python >=3.8 and the ansible 5.0.0 package was incorrectly declaring a requirement on python >=2.7.

When using a lower python version, pip should now correctly fall back to ansible 4.x which provides ansible-core 2.11.
