I’m scratching my head. This is the first I’ve worked on v2, and with a fresh install from source (following [http://docs.ansible.com/intro\_installation.html](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html)), I get

`  
ken ~/projects/ansible\_dev/ansible2 # ansible -v  
[ERROR]: Unexpected Exception: invalid syntax (result.py, line 111)

the full traceback was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
