ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

ansible-core package installation/dependency resolver

ANSIBLE VERSION

stable-2.20/stable-2.17/stable-2.18/stable-2.19 (Installation fails prior to completion)

COLLECTION VERSION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Github CI

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run the sanity tests in the CI and the tests will fail at
RUN python3 -m pip install https://github.com/ansible/ansible/archive/stable-2.20.tar.gz --disable-pip-version-check or RUN ansible-test sanity --requirements --color --python 3.14

EXPECTED RESULTS

All CI is passing

ACTUAL RESULTS

Run python3 -m pip install https://github.com/ansible/ansible/archive/stable-2.20.tar.gz --disable-pip-version-check

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of ansible-core to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Package 'ansible-core' requires a different Python: 3.10.19 not in '>=3.12'

and

 This version of ansible-test cannot be executed with Python version 3.14.2. Supported Python versions are: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12

Start by reproducing the failures in the GitHub CI jobs using the pip installation command and ansible-test sanity --requirements --color --python 3.14. Compare the Python versions used by CI with the supported versions reported for ansible-core and ansible-test. Done means the affected sanity-test jobs complete successfully across the referenced stable branches.
