My Ansible uses Python 2.6 and a remote server is a Virtual Machine OS Centos 5 use Python 2.4

After you installed Python 2.6 on the remote server ( Centos 5). Then configure in the PATH for Python 2.6

“>

For example, In my configuration in PATH as below

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
$ which python
/usr/bin/python

And configure symbolic link for Python 2.6 on the remote server Centos 5

$ ll /usr/bin/ | grep python
$ ln -sf  /usr/bin/python26 /usr/local/bin/python

With that:

python 2.6 is in “/usr/local/bin” *which is before “/usr/bin” in the PATH

python 2.4 is in “/usr/bin

And both are in the PATH

And you running the ansible-playbook command again.

Conclusion

If the “broken pipe” error persists after trying these steps, it may indicate a more complex network issue or a problem specific to your environment.
