Ansible can't find module

Error is

fatal: [sysname] => imported module support code does not exist at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible-1.6.6-py2.6.egg/ansible/module_utils/splitter.py

I have splitter.py installed in my user local dir, however, and the dir is set in PYTHONPATH, but Ansible does not pick it up. Is there an Ansible variable I can set to redirect its attention to the right place? I don’t think ansible_python_interpreter is it.

Thanks

The documentation says:

Modules can be written in any language and are found in the path specified by or the --module-path command line option.

This sounds like you have a crossed up install running a newer ansible against an older library path or something weird to me.
