It seems that the playbook found that firewalld is running and therefore wanted to open the required ports. But, according to the error message, the required python package is not installed.

This is kinda strange because when I tried to install firewalld I saw that python3-firewall is installed as a dependency. We could update the playbook to install it, but not sure this is in fact the issue.

Can you please check if firewalld is in fact running: systemctl status firewalld?
Can you please check if the package is installed: rpm -qa | grep firewall | grep python?
