Dear All,

I have a playbook written to fetch various type of inventory information.
This playbook gives the following error when i try to run in on RHEL5.5 server with Python2.4.3 in it

Error:
fatal: [172.19.1.156]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “Error: ansible requires the stdlib json or simplejson module, neither was found!”}

How do I go about resolving it from my control machine itself?

Also, a basic query: Does ansible need python2.6 on the remote machines as well??

Thanks in advance,
Mona G
