Currently Ansible can be run from any machine with Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed (Windows isn't supported for the control machine).

Ansible 2.2 introduces a tech preview of support for Python 3. For more information, see `Python 3 Support <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/python_3_support.html>`_.
This includes Red Hat, Debian, CentOS, OS X, any of the BSDs, and so on.

As of 2.0 ansible uses a few more file handles to manage its forks. OS X has a very low setting so if you want to use 15 or more forks
you'll need to raise the ulimit with ``sudo launchctl limit maxfiles unlimited``. This command can also fix any "Too many open files" error.

Ansible 2.2 introduces a tech preview of support for Python 3. For more information, see `Python 3 Support <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/python_3_support.html>`_.
By default, Ansible uses Python 2 in order to maintain compability with older distributions
such as RHEL 5 and RHEL 6. However, some Linux distributions (Gentoo, Arch) may not have a
Python 2.X interpreter installed by default. On those systems, you should install one, and set
the 'ansible_python_interpreter' variable in inventory (see :doc:`intro_inventory`) to point at your 2.X Python. Distributions

Unix systems.
If you need to bootstrap these remote systems by installing Python 2.X,
using the 'raw' module will be able to do it remotely. For example,
