1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
ansible 2.7.4 config file = None configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, May 31 2018, 09:41:32) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28)] |
whenever I try to use ansible as a different user getting an error
Error:

$ ansible --version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ansible", line 40, in from ansible.errors import AnsibleError, AnsibleOptionsError, AnsibleParserError ImportError: No module named ansible.errors |
I find two ansible files located in different places, Is this abnormal?
one at /bin/ansible & other at /usr/bin/ansible

can anyone help me in solving it.
Answer:
In my case I was working in a venv in python and that caused Ansible to not find all it’s python modules. Might not necessarily be the OP’s issue here but it’s worth being aware of.
