FAILED! => {"changed": false, 
"module_stderr": "/bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/python: not found\n", 
"module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", 
"rc": 127

Hi@akhtar,

This is because your system does not include /usr/bin/python (Python 2) by default. Your playbook is trying to use Python 2 (/usr/bin/python) by default. So either you can install or if you have python3 then you can use the below trick in your playbook.

  hosts: "*"
  vars:
    ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
  tasks:
    - debug: var=ansible_host
