ansible playbook errors out while trying to to run python script

Question

while doing rolling restart of cluster using ansible i want run python script to verify the rebooted came back without any issues. so i'm trying to run the python script passing arguments using ansible. below is the code i'm using it fails

ERROR! this task 'python' has extra params, which is only allowed in the following modules: command, win_command, shell, win_shell, script, include, include_vars, include_tasks, include_role, import_tasks, import_role, add_host, group_by, set_fact, raw, meta

- hosts: tag_name
  gather_facts: yes
  become: true
  serial: 1
  tasks:
    - name: execute python script
      local_action: python script.py -r us-east-1,us-west-2 -n tag -e test -s tag -k "pemfile" -u ec2-user

For future reference, when you paste preformatted code into the post, immediately select it and type Ctrl+K or click the {} button in the interface. That will format the code properly. — glibdud

I believe the error is correct as 'command' and 'shell' are two most common modules for which you can specify the arguments. To execute the python script on the local host with arguments, use 'command' along with 'local_action' as below.

local_action: command python script.py -r us-east-1,us-west-2 -n tag -e test -s tag -k "pemfile" -u ec2-user

to use command i need to copy the script to remote node and inside the python script i'm using some files in the same repo. woudn't have access from the machine i'm sshing to. i want to run the python script locally.

tried failed with sudo error. so it tries ssh from remote host back to my local machine? fatal: [myhost -> 127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => { "changed": false, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "sudo: a password is required\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1

it worked if i make the gather_facts: no. can i use same play-book few commands to run on remote host and few on local?

the delegate_to directive can be used to select specific hosts for specific tasks. I believe you can try running your original code by adding the 'command; module. Try this: local_action: command python script.py -r us-east-1,us-west-2 -n tag -e test -s tag -k "pemfile" -u ec2-user
