ansible-core: future installation of another Python interpreter could change the meaning of that path
Summary
Ansible is giving the following warning evening though I have python interpreter already defined in the group vars in the inventory file:
[WARNING]: Platform linux on host webserver01 is using the discovered Python interpreter at /usr/bin/python3.10, but future installation of another Python interpreter could
change the meaning of that path. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.13/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.

Bug Report
Component Name
ansible-core
Ansible Version
# pip3 show ansible
Name: ansible
Version: 6.6.0
Summary: Radically simple IT automation
Home-page: https://ansible.com/

# pip3 show ansible-core
Name: ansible-core
Version: 2.13.6
Summary: Radically simple IT automation
Home-page: https://ansible.com/
Author: Ansible, Inc.
Author-email: [email protected]
License: GPLv3+
Location: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages
Requires: cryptography, jinja2, packaging, PyYAML, resolvelib
Required-by: ansible
Configuration
No specific ansible configuration
OS / Environment
Alpine Linux 3.17 Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS
Steps to Reproduce
Try to run any ansible play that will use local connection to talk to a rhel7/8/9 guest vm.
- hosts: webserver
connection: local
tags: deploy
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Install required packages for http
include_role:
name: packageinstall
- inventory file
[webserver]
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# Node Groups
[nodes:children]
webserver
[nodes:vars]
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_user=root
ansible_password=XXXXXXXX
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null'
Expected Results
Play should work without any warning as inventory is already having the ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3 entry as required.
In the ansible provision server already have the path set for python as well:
bash-5.1# python
python python3 python3.10
bash-5.1# which python
/usr/bin/python
bash-5.1# which python3
/usr/bin/python3
bash-5.1# which python3.10
/usr/bin/python3.10
bash-5.1#
Actual Results
[WARNING]: Platform linux on host webserver01 is using the discovered Python interpreter at /usr/bin/python3.10, but future installation of another Python interpreter could
change the meaning of that path. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.13/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.

Files identified in the description: None
If these files are incorrect, please update the component name section of the description or use the !component bot command.
Should that be the below instead?
[nodes:children] -webservers +webserver
Nope. Thats the typo when I updated the issue. I have updated the issue description with correct group name.
In my environment, group name is all right. It has something to do with the interpreter and the way its being called.
Hi, I too am receiving this error. The only difference is the device name and the python version.

I have a raspberry pi 4 with a clusterhat and 4 RPi zeros. The RPi4 doesnt report an error only the zeros.
