Ensure internet-monitoring ... is running fails due to ansible using python2 about internet-pi HOT 4 CLOSED

Interesting... I think because I had only installed Python 3 on my own system, it wasn't causing an issue. But it might be good to force Python 3 usage. The difficulty is some people may have Python set up differently or want to use pyenv, and I don't want to override that behavior.

Maybe put it in the example.inventory.yml with a comment explaining why people might want to use it?

@Duckle29 first thing i do after adding hosts to inventory is adding python 3 var to the inv, fresh install of pi always caused issues for me.

@Duckle29 - Setting the ansible_python_interpreter is often not necessary and depends a lot on how you install Ansible in the first place—plus it can cause weird issues if you use pyenv too, so I typically favor not mentioning it and sadly, letting users kind of hit the issue on their own and go down the Google rabbit hole.

Basically, the way Ansible reference Python can differ based on if you use a system-installed Ansible (package manager), source install, or pip install, and trying to account for the variety can be dizzingly difficult, which is why I exclusively install Ansible with pip3 install ansible nowadays, and just have one Python 3 version installed system-wide :)
