          state: present
        #become: yes

      - name: Validate DNS record lookup for {{ kubeapi_server }}
        debug: msg="{{ lookup('dig', '{{ kubeapi_server }}' )}}"
        vars:
          variable: "{{ lookup('dig', '{{ kubeapi_server }}' )}}"

Your issue is pretty straight forward.

16:18:07  [0;31m    "msg": "Failed to find required executable easy_install in paths: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"[0m

The log clearly says unable to find easy_install on the host on which you are trying to install dnspython.

You can install easy_install on your remote host by installing python-setuptools.

Just for information, easy_install is a Python module which comes as a part of the Python setuptools, so installing setuptools automatically installs easy_install along with it.

I have added sample tasks(Also suggested by @Matthew) which can help you,

- apt:
    name: python-setuptools
    state: present

- easy_install:
    name: dnspython
    state: present
