Hello,

I am new at ansible, i am trying to run a playbook to connect ansible with Rackspace cloud, each time we run it we have this error: “pyrax is required for this module” but when we try to import Pyrax via python, we get another error.

i am using Ubuntu 14.04 OS.

Thanks,  
Mohamed

What's the other error you see? Have you installed pyrax using pip?
