Why getting error while installing ansible pack on stackstorm version "st2 3.3.0, on Python 2.7.5"

Hi Guys,

I have installed stackstorm 3.3.0 version on Python 2.7.5 and i want to install Ansible Pack but while installing i am getting below error–

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/stackstorm/st2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/python_runner/python_action_wrapper.py", line 334, in <module>

raise ValueError(msg)
ValueError: Pack "ansible" requires Python 3.x, but current Python version is "2.7.5". You can override this restriction by providing the "force" flag, but the pack is not guaranteed to work.

after the googling even i tried to install with --force flag but installation is getting timeout here is output…

[root@stackstorm-2 packs]# st2 pack install ansible --force

cam someone please help me with pointers to fix this issue?

Thanks

Have you installed the pre-reqs mentioned on the ansible pack for gcc etc: GitHub - StackStorm-Exchange/stackstorm-ansible: st2 content pack containing ansible integrations?

The v1.0.0 is only verified on python3, but I’m not sure anythign was added to make it not work with python2. But alternatively you could tell it to install v0.5.9 which is the last version tagged for python2 support (you can specify a particular verison of a pack to install)

Yes Pre-req are in place-- below are the output-

 [root@stackstorm-2 ~]# yum install gcc krb5-devel
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

    Nothing to do

Hi Guys,

does anyone has the idea why it is failing?

Thanks

No update ? I have the same issue on RH7 with StackStorm installed directly in OS. ( I have instances where StackStorm was deployed in docker and there its working fine )

Dependencies are met:

Package gcc-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package krb5-devel-1.15.1-50.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Solved for me it was not enough space in /tmp, the installation easily eats 1.5GB of space in /tmp
