Ansible on Retropie/Raspbian

[OurFriendIrony]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried using ansible on retropie/raspbian?

I've recently started using ansible to manage/setup my linux ubuntu dev box. I figured it might be nice to use it to apply my own customisation to the retropie image to make rebuilding on new SDs nice an easy.

I've had a bit of trouble getting ansible installed.
sudo pip install ansible
Gets so far and then crashes out.

Has anyone tried and/or succeeded on getting ansible installed?

Im using retropie 4.3, ansible 2.4.1

Figured I'd share the error I was getting. Firstly, you need to be using Python 3+ for the version of ansible.

sudo pip install ansible

Looks good so far, but...

ansible --version
