Hi,
I recently fetched the latest version of devel (submodules and all), and started getting the “paramiko not installed” error. Has something changed recently?
If I specify “-c ssh” it works fine, but I thought that was the default now? I’m running the scripts from a Mac, with a fairly old version of openssl (because the brew version is hiding).
Thanks,
Graham
Yes, something has recently changed in the devel branch.

The default transport on Mac is now ‘paramiko’ to resolve issues when using sshpass. You will need to use ‘-c ssh’ or set ‘transport = ssh’ in ansible.cfg.
OK, good to know. Thanks.
To clarify, Apple computers sometimes have an issue where sshpass was causing a kernel panic, probably due to the changes in OS X with shared keychains.
Still hasn’t been fixed by Apple, so our options were to either switch to paramiko when specifying a password (inconsistent), not allow passwords on OS X (annoying) or go that route.
There may still be a better way, but a kernel panic from a userland app is sad, and we didn’t want to stand for appearing to inflict that on users.
I’m hoping Apple will address the problem but can’t be sure.
