Using a "python-with-packages" as buildInput for the ansible package/derivation?

A hack like this might help:

How can I build Ansible with custom Python?

I found a way to pass PYTHONPATH to Ansible based on this StackOverflow answer: - gather_facts: false hosts: localhost tasks: - command: python3 -c 'import yaml' environment: PYTHONPATH: '{{ ansible_env.PYTHONPATH }}' By using ansible_env I can access the environment variables of the host from which Ansible is being run, and hence set it for the task. Not pretty, but it does work.
