/bin/sh: /usr/bin/env python3: No such file or directory

I have a problem with ansible 2.17.4 on MacOS. It says "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/env python3: No such file or directory\n"

(.venv) aivanov@localhost ansible-playground % ansible --version
ansible [core 2.17.4]
  config file = /Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/nodules']
  ansible python module location = /Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/collections
  executable location = /Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/.venv/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.12.3 (v3.12.3:f6650f9ad7, Apr  9 2024, 08:18:47) [Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)] (/Users/aivanov/Git/ansible-playground/.venv/bin/python3.12)
  jinja version = 3.1.4
  libyaml = True
(.venv) aivanov@localhost ansible-playground % 

Error:

    "msg": "The module failed to execute correctly, you probably need to set the interpreter.\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",

}

I think the problem is here with quoting:
EXEC /bin/sh -c ''"'"'/usr/bin/env python3'"'"' ...

Reproduce:

% /bin/sh -c '"'"'/usr/bin/env python3'"'"'         
/bin/sh: '/usr/bin/env python3': No such file or directory

Ansible seems to try to run "/usr/bin/env python3" as binary with space "env python3".

The solutions is just to remove "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in the first line of .py files

Thanks for the information.
FOS Ansible 1.3.4 supports Ansible version 2.7 only. In FOS Ansible 2.0.0, will support latest Ansible version.
We are replacing python3 with python, that also works with the latest Ansible version. Please let us know if you see any issues.
