Hi,

I’m trying to launch an instance using os\_server module  
Using simple playbook

- name: create openstack instance  
hosts: local\_host  
tasks:
- name: launch instance  
os\_server:  
auth:  
auth\_url: http://\<_some url\>_  
username: ansible  
password: ansible  
project\_name: ansible  
state: present  
name: ldap\_client  
image: 0b9d8320-93f7-4814-a03d-4c51f15bab84  
key\_name: ansible\_key  
timeout: 200  
flavor: 2  
nics:
- net-id: 1446ba1c-341c-4633-84ba-ac0787d162a2
- net-name: private  
security\_groups: default  
meta:  
hostname: ldap\_client  
wait: yes

Getting following syntax error in _shade_ when running

**_ansible-playbook -v -i hosts new\_openstack\_instance.yml_**

Any suggestions?

That looks like a bug in the shade library, its also a bug in Ansible  
because we should not throw an 'unwrapped traceback'.

though to be fair, a syntax error in a library you re importing should  
only happen when you are developing said library.

The problem is that the shade module requires python 2.7 as it stands. I believe there is a PR for shade module to support python 2.6.
