It's not so easy. Ansible is based on Twisted which is not yet 100%
Python3 compatible, as far as I understood.
Does the code which is injected into managed machines use Twisted? That
would be a bit odd.
I think there are two different levels of Python 3 support, one for the
managing host (desirable but not essential), and one for the managed
hosts (increasingly important if there are systems which only have
Python 3 and cannot install Python 2).
