  - name: python38
    path: /usr/bin/python3.8
    link: /usr/bin/python3
    state: selected
    subcommand_name:
    subcommand_link:
    subcommand_path:

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: all
  vars:
    alternative_packages:
      - name: python38
        path: /usr/bin/python3.8
        link: /usr/bin/python3

  roles:
    - geerlingguy.pip
