I’m trying to use Ansible’s Proxmox collection but I’m running into an issue. When I run my playbook, I get the below ```auto AttributeError: 'ProxmoxKvmAnsible' object has no attribute 'module' ``` The full traceback for it is: ```auto Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1753222641.933565-391060-173645953165216/AnsiballZ_proxmox_vm_info.py", line 107, in _ansiballz_main() File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1753222641.933565-391060-173645953165216/AnsiballZ_proxmox_vm_info.py", line 99, in _ansiballz_main invoke_module(zipped_mod, temp_path, ANSIBALLZ_PARAMS) File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1753222641.933565-391060-173645953165216/AnsiballZ_proxmox_vm_info.py", line 47, in invoke_module runpy.run_module(mod_name='ansible_collections.community.proxmox.plugins.modules.proxmox_vm_info', init_globals=dict(_module_fqn='ansible_collections.community.proxmox.plugins.modules.proxmox_vm_info', _modlib_path=modlib_path), File "", line 226, in run_module File "", line 98, in _run_module_code File "", line 88, in _run_code File "/tmp/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload_xyht9xy6/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/proxmox/plugins/modules/proxmox_vm_info.py", line 279, in File "/tmp/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload_xyht9xy6/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/proxmox/plugins/modules/proxmox_vm_info.py", line 249, in main File "/tmp/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload_xyht9xy6/ansible_community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/proxmox/plugins/module_utils/proxmox.py", line 81, in __init__ ``` I’ve checked my versions and I’m running the Ansible core 2.18 ```auto root@xxxx:/usr/src/ansible/KAPS/playbook# ansible --version ansible [core 2.18.7] config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 3.12.3 (main, Jun 18 2025, 17:59:45) [GCC 13.3.0] (/usr/bin/python3) jinja version = 3.1.2 libyaml = True ``` Ansible collections ```auto # /root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections Collection Version ---------------------------------------- ------- community.general 11.1.0 community.proxmox 1.2.0 ``` I’m running a very simple play to just get information and prove it works. ```auto - name: List PX VMs community.proxmox.proxmox_vm_info: api_host: "192.168.xxx.xxx" api_user: "xxxx@pam" api_password: "xxxxxx" node: pve ``` I’m getting this on pretty much any proxmox collection I use. I’ve tried to create a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 image and install from scratch, but have the same issue. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. ---

I’m pretty confident this is the solution. Thanks, I thought I had been pretty thorough with my Google-fu. I’ll need to work through my options via that page. ```auto root@pve:~# apt info python3-proxmoxer Package: python3-proxmoxer Version: 1.2.0-2 Priority: optional Section: python Source: proxmoxer Maintainer: Debian Python Team Installed-Size: 63.5 kB Depends: python3:any Recommends: python3-requests, python3-paramiko Homepage: https://github.com/proxmoxer/proxmoxer Download-Size: 14.3 kB APT-Manual-Installed: yes APT-Sources: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages ``` ---

Update: Since this is my own home, personal machine, I elected to try the nuclear option: ```auto root@pve:~# pip install proxmoxer --break-system-packages --upgrade --force Collecting proxmoxer Using cached proxmoxer-2.2.0-py3-none-any.whl (19 kB) Installing collected packages: proxmoxer Attempting uninstall: proxmoxer Found existing installation: proxmoxer 2.2.0 Uninstalling proxmoxer-2.2.0: Successfully uninstalled proxmoxer-2.2.0 Successfully installed proxmoxer-2.2.0 ``` It successfully updated proxmoxer to 2.2.0. The Ansible play then ran successfully. ```auto ok: [proxmox] => { "changed": false, "invocation": { "module_args": { "api_host": "192.168.xxx.xxx", "api_password": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER", "api_port": null, "api_token_id": null, "api_token_secret": null, "api_user": "root@pam", "validate_certs": false } }, "proxmox_nodes": [ { "cpu": 0.121803684355238, "disk": 40024866816, "id": "node/pve", "level": "", "maxcpu": 4, "maxdisk": 71243653120, "maxmem": 16711643136, "mem": 13722595328, "node": "pve", "ssl_fingerprint": xxxredactedxxx, "status": "online", "type": "node", "uptime": 12529773 } ] } PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************************************** proxmox : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 ``` ---
