Hi I am using ansible (version 2.2) for installing a software, where I require “ **expect** ” to be used. I have installed the pexpect module (version 4.2) and Python (version 2.7) in the local and remote server. However, on running ansible script, getting following error: “module\_name”: “expect” “msg”: “The pexpect python module is required” Please help. Regards Neha ---

I have similar problem but with a bit different outcome: Insufficient version of pexpect installed (4.2.1), this module requires pexpect\>=3.3. Error was ‘int’ object has no attribute ‘rstrip’" Ansible version: **2.2.0.0** pexpect version: **4.2.1** (definitely greater than 3.3). ---

I’m guessing you are trying to supply an integer as one of the responses, try quoting it like “1”
