Failed to import the requests library during Ansible playbook execution
Reproduction:
Clone the pricer repository.
Ensure that the necessary Ansible playbook, basic_checks.yml, is available.
Run the following command:
Expected:
The playbook should execute without any errors and successfully import the requests library.
Research:
During the execution of the playbook, the following error occurred:
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
It seems that the requests library is missing in the Python environment being used by Ansible. The error message also suggests checking the ansible_python_interpreter configuration.
Additional Notes:
The playbook requires the 'requests' library, which seems to be missing in the Python environment being used despite pip install requests being performed.

I think this issue happened as the requests module is not installed on the host running Ansible, and how about adding a part to install the module before attempting to run any tasks that require it?
Could you please run the playbook I newly updated to see if it works? https://gogs.gtsplab.com:5432/SVIG/pricer/src/main/basic_checks.yml

This is usually caused because the Python interpreter that Ansible is using is different from the Python interpreter that you're running pip with. On my Mac, this often happens because I use both conda and venv with the homebrew Python formula. You can diagnose this by not running pip directly, but using the interpreter that Ansible says it's using.
Troubleshooting process:
Figure out what interpreter Ansible is using.
It's included in the error output of the Ansible play.
Figure out what interpreter pip is using.
Most interpreted utilities like pip have a way to figure out what interpreter and environment they're running in. I ran pip help, and there was a debug that looked like it might help. When I ran pip debug, it did output the interpreter it was using:
$ pip debug
WARNING: This command is only meant for debugging. Do not use this with automation for parsing and getting these details, since the output and options of this command may change without notice.
pip version: pip 23.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)
Because Ansible isn't using the copy of pip that's in the PATH search list in the shell you're executing Ansible from, you have to run pip from the interpreter that Ansible is using directly:

You can avoid a mismatch between the pip that your shell is using, and the pip that Ansible is using, by simply having Ansible do the installation.
As a shortcut, you can do this for testing without having to run the whole playbook:
ansible -m pip -a name=requests localhost
For efficiency reasons, you probably shouldn't run the pip module for each dependency, but instead use the requirements option to have the module check all the packages at once:
$ ansible-doc -j pip | jq .pip.doc.options.requirements {
"description": [
"The path to a pip requirements file, which should be local to the remote system. File can be specified as a relative path if using the chdir option."
],
"type": "str"
}
Karen fixed this in this commit:
