How can I import or include a module in my yaml file that I have downloaded at a different (custom) location than

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Thanks

I have the python package downloaded in the virtual environment and am trying to use its ansible module in my playbook, no luck yet.

Location for the package - /var/lib/awx/venv/ansible/lib/…

In the playbook -  
—hosts: localhost  
tasks:

- name: Job list  
tower\_job\_list:  
status:  
…

But it keeps failing.
