Ansible comes with a own python binary (and own pip). You need to lookup the ansible path. In there is a python binary.

Thanks for the fast reply. Unfortunately it is of no help for me.

@dimejo Did you ever figure this out and find a solution?

I'm having the same symptom, that same error message despite having installed hcloud-python using pip install hcloud as per https://hcloud-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html in a Docker image having this Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.11.0-alpine

RUN apk update
RUN apk add --upgrade apk-tools
RUN apk upgrade --available

RUN apk add openssh ansible
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install hcloud

WORKDIR /data

Running it yields this:

# ansible-inventory --graph
[WARNING]:  * Failed to parse /data/ansible/inventory/hcloud.yaml with ansible_collections.hetzner.hcloud.plugins.inventory.hcloud plugin: The Hetzner Cloud dynamic inventory
plugin requires hcloud-python.

[WARNING]: Unable to parse /data/ansible/inventory as an inventory source

For reference, the hcloud.yaml file has just this in it:

plugin: hetzner.hcloud.hcloud

@dimejo Did you ever figure this out and find a solution?

Unfortunately not. I was unable to find Ansible's own python binary and spending hours to find a solution wasn't worth it for me.

But as you are using Docker you could try switching to Arch Linux as base image and see if the python-hcloud package from the community repos works.

Thanks @dimejo for your input. I've dug a bit further and will document any solutions I find here:

• The first and probably simplest way to fix the problem is to install ansible using pip instead of apk. So instead of apk install ansible just make it pip install ansible- this made it work for me and installed a slightly newer version of ansible than what apk had, although it's worth noting that the apk installed ansible might be better tailored to the operating system and perhaps also more secure, I don't know. It's on the hand older in my case.
