When trying to run the Openssl_certificate module with provider=assertonly I am getting

“The python pyOpenSSL library is required”

but it looks like that is available to Python:

python -m OpenSSL.debug
`

my ansible version:

ansible 2.4.2.0 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/home/jenkins/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 4 2017, 00:39:18) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)]

Do I need to add somethign to Ansible config?

thank you

I guess you are running this on the remote host and not localhost so you need to install the requirement on the remote host.
