Hi All, When we attempt to use Ansible on a bare metal server running centos 6.5, single python2.7 the “juniper\_junos\_config:” module gives us this error “import error: No module named plugins.action.normal”. This works fine on another Ubuntu server. I hope someone here may have some thoughts on what is wrong. p-mon01{jnaughton}~/network-ansible/ansible [1038] $ ansible-playbook -i hosts-lab playbooks/lab-push.pb.yaml -vvv ansible-playbook 2.7.0 config file = /home/jnaughton/network-ansible/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u’/home/jnaughton/network-ansible/ansible/modules’] ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-playbook python version = 2.7.14 (default, Oct 19 2018, 14:48:27) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11)] Using /home/jnaughton/network-ansible/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file Parsed /home/jnaughton/network-ansible/ansible/hosts-lab inventory source with ini plugin PLAYBOOK: lab-push.pb.yaml \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 1 plays in playbooks/lab-push.pb.yaml Username: labtech Password: PLAY [Load and generate a configuration and push to a device running Junos OS] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* META: ran handlers TASK [load configure file into device] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /home/jnaughton/network-ansible/ansible/playbooks/lab-push.pb.yaml:24 \<10.95.7.5\> ESTABLISH LOCAL CONNECTION FOR USER: jnaughton \<10.95.7.5\> EXEC /bin/sh -c ‘echo ~jnaughton && sleep 0’ \<10.95.7.5\> EXEC /bin/sh -c ‘( umask 77 && mkdir -p “`echo /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379`” && echo ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379=“`echo /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379`” ) && sleep 0’ Using module file /home/jnaughton/.ansible/roles/Juniper.Junos/library/juniper\_junos\_config.py \<10.95.7.5\> PUT /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-229118drPfu/tmpjeSXDq TO /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py \<10.95.7.5\> EXEC /bin/sh -c ‘chmod u+x /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/ /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py && sleep 0’ \<10.95.7.5\> EXEC /bin/sh -c ‘/usr/bin/python /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py && sleep 0’ \<10.95.7.5\> EXEC /bin/sh -c ‘rm -f -r /home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/ \> /dev/null 2\>&1 && sleep 0’ The full traceback is: Traceback (most recent call last): File “/home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py”, line 113, in \_ansiballz\_main() File “/home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py”, line 105, in \_ansiballz\_main invoke\_module(zipped\_mod, temp\_path, ANSIBALLZ\_PARAMS) File “/home/jnaughton/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1543333736.61-164598744816379/AnsiballZ\_juniper\_junos\_config.py”, line 48, in invoke\_module imp.load\_module(‘ **main** ’, mod, module, MOD\_DESC) File “/tmp/ansible\_juniper\_junos\_config\_payload\_rUnJEK/ **main**.py”, line 741, in File “/tmp/ansible\_juniper\_junos\_config\_payload\_rUnJEK/ansible\_juniper\_junos\_config\_payload.zip/ansible/module\_utils/juniper\_j nos\_common.py”, line 40, in ImportError: No module named plugins.action.normal fatal: [10.95.7.5]: FAILED!

Could it be that you're mixing a virtualenv with OS package provided modules...? ---

Hi Dick, No we are not using the virtualenv tool.
