Ansible: Using EC2 external inventory script gives a Syntax Error
I'm trying to follow this to fetch inventory in us-east-1 region. I downloaded the EC2 External Inventory script and made it executable. My ~/.boto looks like following.
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = <ACCESS_KEY>
aws_secret_access_key = <SECRET_KEY>
Where <ACCESS_KEY> and <SECRET_KEY> have real aws access and secret key values respectively.
When I run following command I get an error instead of list nodes in the region.
$ ansible -i ec2.py -u ubuntu us-east-1 -m ping
File "/home/waseem/Repositories/Learning/Ansible/ec2.py", line 168
print data_to_print
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
ERROR: failed to parse executable inventory script results: {'msg': '', 'failed': True, 'parsed': False}
What am I doing wrong?

What version of Python do you have? This looks like an issue with Python, not Ansible - Python 3 removed the simple print statement (docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#print-is-a-function)

@kyl191 I have 3.4.1. Which version of Python is recommended with ansible?
– Waseem
Aug 9 '14 at 19:28
As per docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html, at this point, any Python 2.6+ version - python.org says 2.7.8 is the latest

This is an issue with the wrong version of Python being used, not with Ansible itself.
http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html specifies that Ansible runs on Python 2.6+, not Python 3.
