ansible-sshkeys's Issues

no /usr/bin/python in RHEL8 - module fails

When I run the playbook on a RHEL8.1 server Iin the Alias lab, I get this error below, but I never used to get it with RHEL8.0. There is no python installed, either 2 or 3. This breaks my automation and makes me do everything by hand. Is there some way for ansible-playbook to avoid running python to do this and just give me password-less ssh access using the raw module? Once I have that, I can do whatever commands are needed to further initialize the system from there.

Suggestion: have the user specify the public key file to install, and just make ~/.ssh/authorized_keys equal to that using the raw module, and do nothing else. Since we got the error below, ansible-playbook got into the system! So it would work.
