FATAL: Ansible CLI (2.10.2) and python module (2.10.6) versions do not match.

Hi togehter,

I would love to get Ansible-Lint running on my environment, but it does not execute. When trying to execute ansible-lint in my command line it throws me the error:

FATAL: Ansible CLI (2.10.2) and python module (2.10.6) versions do not match.

I kindly checked out the discussions and already digged deeper into the code to see where the FATAL Error comes from, but I am not capable to get it running.

Just before you ask:
Ansible --version : ansible 2.10.2 , python version = 3.8.7 (default, Feb 16 2021, 10:40:48) [Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)]

I already upgraded ansible and ansible-lint through pip and I honestly do not know how to downgrade the ansible python module. I also tried to install ansible v. 2.10.2, but it didn't work as well.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I finally found the problem. I had several python/bin/ directories and somehow Ansible CLI was loaded from another bin than the ansible module!

For all people having the same problem:
find / -name ansible 2>/dev/null
and check every executable with --version flag. Finally edit your $PATH variable to match.

Hey folks,

I am trying to get ansible-lint to work on my RHEL 8 Laptop. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is what I am seeing:

For anyone using linuxbrew, I solved this with brew reinstall ansible that warned about a broken link, fixed with brew link --overwrite ansible !
