Inside a fresh virtualenv I installed httplib and ansible and run the following command but ansible complains that httplib2 isn’t installed. Any suggestions how I get this working? Thanks for the help!

`
(httplib2_test)[root@v-hegemon hegemon]# ansible -i /opt/wp/app/hegemon/ansible/hosts.vagrant localhost -m uri -a “url=google.com status_code=200 return_content=yes”
localhost | FAILED >> {
“failed”: true,
“msg”: “httplib2 is not installed”
}

(httplib2_test)[root@v-hegemon hegemon]# pip freeze
Jinja2==2.7.3
MarkupSafe==0.23
PyYAML==3.11
ansible==1.7.1
ecdsa==0.11
httplib2==0.9
paramiko==1.15.1
pycrypto==2.6.1
wsgiref==0.1.2
`

You’ll need to set the inventory variable ansible_python_interpreter to point at the python inside your virtualenv.

Ansible is still trying to use system python for executing modules, basically.

Thanks Michael! Its so easy to forget that. Also for posterity and anyone else working on the same issue
yum install python-httplib2

works as well.
