Hi… I just setup a new ubuntu system to run from source using the “sudo make install” command. When I try to run scripts that use “from ansible import callbacks” Python gives an error that callbacks doesn’t exist. If I just try running the following from the command line I get the same: vagrant@precise64:~/ansible$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Jun 22 2015, 19:33:41) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information. > > > from ansible import callbacks > > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > > File “”, line 1, in > > > ImportError: cannot import name callbacks However importing other things like ansible utils does work. I notice that there are no longer any callback py or pyc files in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible/: vagrant@precise64:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible$ ll total 112 drwxr-sr-x 18 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 ./ drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 …/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 cli/ drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 compat/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 config/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 15580 Jul 6 19:32 constants.py\* -rw-r–r-- 1 root staff 13616 Jul 6 19:32 constants.pyc drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 errors/ drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 executor/ drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 galaxy/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 765 Jul 6 19:32 **init**.py\* -rw-r–r-- 1 root staff 242 Jul 6 19:32 **init**.pyc drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 inventory/ drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 modules/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 module\_utils/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 new\_inventory/ drwxr-sr-x 5 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 parsing/ drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 playbook/ drwxr-sr-x 12 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 plugins/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 template/ drwxr-sr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 utils/ drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 6 19:32 vars/ vagrant@precise64:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/ansible$ Are callbacks being referenced differently now?

they should be under plugins/callbacks ---

I see plugins/callback (notice it’s singular) and the contents don’t appear to be the same as the callbacks py/pyc files from earlier. Ethan ---

we have not finished porting allt he callbacks, the API has changed a bit, but the default ones used by ansible and ansible-playbook should be there ---

Ok, can you please try this simple test and let me know if you see the same?

"from ansible import callbacks" is not valid in v2 ---

Is there doc on how to do this in v2? The equivalent of: ```auto from ansible import callbacks from ansible import utils stats = callbacks.AggregateStats() playbook_cb = callbacks.PlaybookCallbacks(verbose=utils.VERBOSITY) runner_cb = callbacks.PlaybookRunnerCallbacks(stats, verbose=utils.VERBOSITY) ``` ```auto ``` ---

no, we really never have had API docs, the changes in v2 are substantial and you'll probably need to rewrite all that, for example runner does not exist anymore.
