I have

`  
tasks:

- name: Install the Python MySQLB module  
pip: name=mysql-python

- name: Create grafana database  
tags: [mysql]  
mysql\_db:  
state: present  
name: “{{ vault\_grafana\_db\_name }}”  
login\_host: “{{ data\_rds\_mysql\_host }}”  
login\_user: “{{ data\_rds\_username }}”  
login\_password: “{{ data\_rds\_password }}”  
`

But when running

`

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “The MySQL-python module is required.”}  
to retry, use: --limit @/Users/bkaplan/.ansible/retry-files/deploy-grafana.retry  
`

What can cause this?
