I have tried suggestions on Github, Google Groups, and GIthub Gists but can’t seem to resolve this error.

I’m using system version of Python

`  
which python  
/usr/bin/python

python --version  
Python 2.7.6

`

Pip was installed using sudo simple\_install pip

`  
which pip  
/usr/local/bin/pip

pip --version  
pip 6.1.1 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

`

Ansible and dopy both installed as pip modules

`  
pip list  
…  
ansible (1.9.1)  
…  
dopy (0.3.6)  
…

`

But I get an error when trying to run playbook using digital ocean module

`  
TASK: [create digitalocean droplet] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [127.0.0.1] =\> {“failed”: true, “parsed”: false}  
failed=True msg=‘dopy \>= 0.2.3 required for this module’

Exact same problem here… Why can’t Ansible find the dopy module?

I was able to successfully create a droplet via the dopy module in Python:

`  
Wills-MacBook-Air:ansible-stuff will$ python  
Python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 19 2014, 06:00:59)  
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.56)] on darwin  
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

> > > from dopy.manager import DoManager  
> > > do = DoManager(‘_ **', '** _\*’)  
> > > do.new\_droplet(‘dopy-droplet’, 63, 9640922, 8)  
> > > {u’event\_id’: 55212061, u’image\_id’: 9640922, u’size\_id’: 63, u’id’: 5963986, u’name’: u’dopy-droplet’}

`

So I know the module works…
