We have some 50 odd linux 5 hosts, and to manage that we use ansible.

Problem :- Ansible modules copy/template errors for Linux 5 hosts using python26 ,python binding libselinux-python needed

Actual error :-
fatal : FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed!"}

Environment:-

Ansible Master node : - EL7

Selinux enabled

libselinux-python : installed libselinux-python.x86_64 0:2.5-14.1.el7



Node :- EL 5

Selinux enabled

Using ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python26

libselinux-python : installed libselinux-python-1.33.4-5.7.el5.x86_64

Description:-

I see the problem

With default Python ...

selinux]# python

Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 5 2011, 15:12:27)

import selinux

selinux.is_selinux_enabled()

And with python26

[root@dev-bozo21 selinux]# python26

Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Nov 7 2012, 14:47:45)

import selinux

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in 

ImportError: No module named selinux

I tried copying

"/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/selinux to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/selinux ( this was empty earlier)"

it throws this error

And when copying

"/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/selinux/init.py" ( from different centos 7 node) to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/selinux/

I get below error

Any solution for this problem ?
