Hi,

I am trying to run playbook cp4d.yml but getting error - "ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: No module named ‘mas’  
"

Not sure about what this means and how to proceed. Any ideas or thoughts?

Hi @Poonam, can you share the contents of that playbook, or where you got it from?

As a guess, this error often means you’re missing a python module that the playbook or collection requires. So, whatever provides `mas` is likely missing.

I am running ansible-playbook ibm.mas-devops.cp4d. You may be right about python version as I do have python 3.9 and 3.11 in my system. How can I resolve this error?

I think this [local install](https://ibm-mas.github.io/ansible-devops/#local-install) information from their documentation might be what you’re looking for.

If this is indeed the product you’re installing, they do recommend python 3.11 (but note that any supported python version _should_ work).
