Hi, everyone  
I’m trying to execute Python Files on EC2 using ansible

I got an error message like this

**'import influxdb\nModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘influxdb’**

I installed ‘influxdb’ module on EC2  
and it works well when I connected EC2 directly and execute Python directly.

But, it doesn’t work when using ansible…

Help ! Thanks

Can you please share `ansible --version` and influxdb installed location?

There might be a difference between Python used interactively and used by Ansible.
