Test.py

    import Name
        
    print("My Name is %s \n" % Name.student_name)

Issue:

import error of Name.py, module not found

Solution ??

Couple of things, your Python path is getting lost so you need to set an environment variable

    
---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: True

  tasks:  
  - name: Run Test Script
      script: "{{ playbook_dir }}/Script/Test.py"
      register: result
      args:
        executable: /usr/local/bin/python3
      environment:
        - PYTHONPATH: "{{ playbook_dir }}/Script/"

And I'm not sure what you are trying to do with sys.exit. sys.exit should just take an integer. Exiting with a 0 means that program ran successfully.

import Name

print("My Name is %s \n" % Name.student_name)

print('{"rc": 0, "changed": True}')

exit(0)

when ansible excute Test.py , it thoughs an error in first line as it unble to find Name module.
