VMware Inventory not working

[metabsd]

Error while using inventory plugins. I found that the problem seem to be an incompatibility between cryptography and pyOpenssl python libs.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74981558/error-updating-python3-pip-attributeerror-module-lib-has-no-attribute-openss

I found that ansible-builder install the right version pyOpenssl but during the build process another section replace it for an older version.

I attached the build output.
5_Build image.txt

The first version installed.

Older version overwrite.

For now I workaround via this.

@TheRealHaoLiu do we need to change the awx-ee execution-environment yaml file?

Are you planning to use a newer version of Python? I just noticed that Ansible-lint is going to drop support for Python 3.9 with the latest version.
