Hi guys ,

When I try to import my ansible-inventory and put in AWX with this command:

`sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage inventory_import --source=/etc/ansible/inventory/production/hosts --inventory-name=production`

I had this output with this error :

`  
8.777 INFO Updating inventory 4: production  
9.056 INFO Reading Ansible inventory source: /etc/ansible/inventory/production/hosts  
Traceback (most recent call last):

from ansible import context

`

And my specs in vm (CentOS Linux 7.6.1810 64bit / Linux 3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86\_64) and ansible version are

`

# ansible --version

ansible 2.8.2  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.5 (default, Jun 20 2019, 20:27:34) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)]  
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root  
`

Can help me for workaround this problem and try to import data.

Thanks

AWX has it's one list, please use that, this list is only for Ansible.
