Hello,

In regards of;

You can install pip packages on AWX in runtime using this module:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/pip\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/pip_module.html)

So, you may add this task at the beginning of your playbook (maybe a pre-task would fit better):

```yaml
- name: Install python package
  ansible.builtin.pip:
    name: ansible-pylibssh

```

Not a very efficient way to add pip dependencies on a running AWX EE though, but good enough for debugging purposes anyway
