I was looking to start work on a new module, start writing tests, after rebase-ing devel I’m now getting an error when trying to run Ansible from source on Ubuntu 16.04. This error has only started occurring in the past week, I’ve run from devel previously to test other modules on this same host. I do have a deb install of ansible on this machine also, but haven’t had any problems in the past running a source version of ansible.

Thanks @agaffney for your help, pity about the freenode ddos.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/16435 I came across this bug, put I don’t think that’s the issue.

I attempted then to try importing modules from the python interpreter,

I’m not a python programmer and may just be looking at this the wrong way.
