mysql module not found on mac by Ansible

Hello,

Sorry if this has already been answered, but after much googling I couldn’t find the answer. I am trying to create a database in mysql using Ansible. I see from the documentation that Ansible needs to have the MySQL-python module installed. I did this in my ansible-playbook using

  • name: install MySQL-python module

pip: name=MySQL-python

become: yes

But I still get the error:

TASK: [install MySQL-python module] *******************************************

ok: [localhost]

TASK: [create chronam database] ***********************************************

failed: [localhost] => (item=chronam) => {“failed”: true, “item”: “chronam”}

msg: the python mysqldb module is required

failed: [localhost] => (item=chronam_test) => {“failed”: true, “item”: “chronam_test”}

msg: the python mysqldb module is required

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

What am I doing wrong? Why can’t Ansible see that it is installed? This is being run on a Mac (OS X 10.9.5)

Thanks

John
