I get the following error when trying to execute the maven_artifact plugin

`

fatal: [172.28.128.6]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “module_stderr”: “”, “module_stdout”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n File "/home/ubuntu/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1453190793.13-232530634322851/maven_artifact", line 25, in \r\n from lxml import etree\r\nImportError: No module named lxml\r\n”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”, “parsed”: false}
`

I have followed the instructions at: http://lxml.de/installation.html
I have also followed the instructions at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6504810/how-to-install-lxml-on-ubuntu

But the module is still not found.

What am I doing wrong?

Here’s my environment:

uname -a Linux vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64 3.13.0-71-generic #114-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 1 02:34:22 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ ansible --version ansible 2.0.0.1 config file = /home/vagrant/project/ansible.cfg configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

`
$ pip list | grep lxml
lxml (3.3.3)

lxml needs to be installed on the remote target device where the task is executing, not on the local control machine (unless they are one in the same)

I suggest adding a task that will install lxml via the pip module before executing any tasks that require it.
