From what I saw in my environment I got this error when the script wasn’t in my root directory.

```auto
[root@xxx API]# ./my_ansible.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):   
     File "./my_ansible.py", line 5, in <module>
        from ansible.parsing.dataloader import DataLoader   
     File "/home/xxx/projects/API/ansible.py", line 5, in <module>
ImportError: No module named parsing.dataloader

```

Once I moved it to /root - it ran fine:

```auto
[root@xxx ~]# ./my_ansible.py
[root@xxx ~]#

```
