Hello Ansible Geeks

I am willing to use ansible 2.0 and i have cloned ansible repository and source /hacking/env-setup and got this error.

Please see the details here : [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13361](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13361)

```auto
teeri:ansible ksingh$ ansible --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ksingh/ansible-2.0/ansible/bin/ansible", line 39, in <module>
    from ansible.errors import AnsibleError, AnsibleOptionsError, AnsibleParserError
ImportError: cannot import name AnsibleOptionsError
teeri:ansible ksingh$

```

Note : I am happily using ansible 1.9 on the same machine , and also wants ansible 2.0. OS – OSX

all of these are installed `paramiko PyYAML Jinja2 httplib2 six`

Many Thanks  
Karan

it seems you might be loading mixed files from 1.9 and 2.0, make sure  
you remove 1.9.

I have dealt with similar issues.  
To see all the places Python might be loading ansible libraries use:  
import sys  
print (sys.path)

If you want to switch between Ansible versions, I have had the best luck with virtualenvs.

Virtualenv worked 🙂
