Mitogen does not support Ansible 2.8 Python interpreter detection

Running Debian 9 locally with Ansible 2.8.1 with Python 3. Controlling a Ubuntu 18.04 server.

I followed the instructions here: https://networkgenomics.com/ansible/

Of course it didn’t work for 2.8.X, so I switched it out for master. Now I’m getting this:

TASK [Gathering Facts] ************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [8.9.11.101]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "EOF on stream; last 300 bytes received: 'bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory\\n'", "unreachable": true}

Oddly enough, /usr/bin/python does exist but it’s a symlink to python2.7.

I think it should be trying /usr/bin/python3. Ansible works just fine without mitogen enabled.

I think there’s something about a ansible_python_interpreter that I can set, but seems like this should work by default.

What can I try/test? I’m new to both Ansible and Mitogen, so not very familiar with either yet.

Thank you!

Really sad to see that there is no progress on this bug, which is a deal breaker.

Any news on this?
