Hi!

I try to develope custom connection plugin. Plugin placed in ~/.ansible/plugins/connection folder and correctly seen by ansible-doc.  
But, when I try to run playbook, I have a message:  
{“msg”: “the connection plugin ‘packetlogic’ was not found”}

I tryed to research the reason. But found only that error happened hear:  
class Connection(ConnectionBase): def **init** (self, play\_context, new\_stdin, \*args, \*\*kwargs): super(Connection, self). **init** (play\_context, new\_stdin, \*args, \*\*kwargs)

When I made systax error in class Connection (fo test), I saw followin trace:

The full traceback is:

Can anyone helps me with this, pls?
