how to run python script with ansible-playbook?

Question

I want to print result in ansible-playbook but not working.
python script:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import time

while True:
    print("I'm alive")
    time.sleep(5)

deploy_python_script.yml:


  connection: local
  become: true

  vars:
    python_script_src: /home/ubuntu/scripts/python_script.py
    python_script_dest: /opt/web_service/python_script.py
    python_script_mode: "0755"
    python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3

  tasks:
    - name: Ensure destination directory exists
      file:
        path: /opt/web_service
        state: directory
        mode: "0755"

    - name: Copy Python script to server
      copy:
        src: "{{ python_script_src }}"
        dest: "{{ python_script_dest }}"
        mode: "{{ python_script_mode }}"

    - name: Run the script
      command: "{{ python_interpreter }} {{ python_script_dest }}"
      register: script_result
      become: true
      become_user: root

    - name: Check if script ran
      debug:
        msg: "Script ran: {{ script_output.changed }}"

    - name: Show output
      debug:
        var: script_result

I ran the following command:

ansible-playbook -i localhost -vvv deploy_python_script.yml

result:

TASK \[Run the script\] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Instead of copy and command it is recommended to use the script module – Runs a local script on a remote node after transferring it. — U880D

I also used ansible.builtin.script but it doesn't show the output... @U880D — Mahdi Kh

Does that mean that the text "I am alive" should not be printed every five seconds? @U880D — Mahdi Kh

For a Python script

#!/usr/bin/python

import time

print("I'm alive")
time.sleep(5)

a minimal example playbook

---
- hosts: localhost
  become: false
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:

  - script: alive.py
    register: result

  - debug:
      var: result

called via

ansible-playbook script.yml -v

will result into an output of

TASK [script] *****************************************************************
changed: [localhost] => changed=true
  rc: 0
  stderr: ''
  stderr_lines: <omitted>
  stdout: |-
    I'm alive
  stdout_lines: <omitted>
Wednesday 06 March 2024  08:00:00 +0100 (0:00:05.152)       0:00:05.241 *******

TASK [debug] ******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
  result:
    changed: true
    failed: false
    rc: 0
    stderr: ''
    stderr_lines: []
    stdout: |-
      I'm alive
    stdout_lines:
    - I'm alive

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

Playbook run took 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 5 seconds
