Ansible is one of the (random) packages that
need further work to build in 3.9 that were
alluded to earlier(*).  There was a fix applied
upstream to ansible a while ago to address
the issue, but the (initial) build for the python
3.9 side tag did not also include any new level
of ansible with the patch (that work would be
up to the ansible packagers).  The backport
of the fix has been since been applied, and
a build has been successful, so it should
make it to the rawhide repo in another day
(or two).




(*) Perhaps amusingly, the failure was in the
test suite, which has explicit testing for the
python version, and it previously did not
include 3.9 as a valid python.  So the test
suite proved that the test suite failed.
