Hello,

Would really appreciate pointer here as I have run to a hard wall. I am trying to use ansible to manage and configure docker. So I started on a google search and noticed ansible already has some support for dockers.

However, I don’t seem to get past that. Since I added that task sometime at 12 PM today, I have been having this error;

fatal: [[fluorine.eng.example.com](http://fluorine.eng.example.com)]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “Failed to import docker-py - No module named requests.exceptions. Try `pip install docker-py`”}

Docker-py is however already installed. Anybody using this module who have a pointer? Would really be grateful for any help.

The docker-py package is needed on the host that is actually running the  
task: fluorine.eng.example.com. Or you need to 'delegate' the task  
depending on the 'docker-py' package to your localhost: cacti.
