I am very new to ansible and have been trying to deploy a VM on openstack testbed using ansible. I am getting the error: “fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “python-novaclient is required for this module”}”  
The python-novaclient is already installed in the machine on which I am running the ansible playbook. I am running the playbook on a VM in the openstack testbed where I want to start a new instance of the nova\_compute. Please let me know where I would be wrong.

How have you installed python-novaclient?  
Did you install it via system package or via pip?
