After last system update I’ve got a problems with running ansible. Description of a problem (will paste it below) points to problems with Python.
Local versions:
- ansible core 2.17.0
- python version = 3.12.3
- jinja version = 3.1.3
I use Manjaro on my PC and laptop. So I installed updates first on PC and faced problems, while laptop had previous version of ansible (unfortunately I didn’t save version) with same version of python and everything works perfect.
At the end of a day I’ve install updates on laptop too and start to face same problems with ansible/python. Now I have both systems with same problem…

I did research for this error (SyntaxError: future feature annotations is not defined), and everything points to problem with python.
Was trying to configure python’s intepreter in ansible.cfg, but without success.
Remote builder host has these versions:
ansible 2.9.10
python version = 2.7.5
But as I said, before last update, everything work as a charm.
