SyntaxError with local_action

I was following rsync example from https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2508 to recursively transfer files. I added following lines to my tasks

    • name: copy generic config files for freeswitch

  2. sudo: no

  3. local_action: command rsync -a files/conf root@{{ ansible_ssh_host }}:/usr/local/share/freeswitch/

It gave me following error:

invalid output was: File “/home/mehul/.ansible/tmp/ansible-1393604508.71-11919565258498/command”, line 475

except OSError, e:

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

I get the same error even if I change the local action to:

local_action: command echo “foo”

local_action: shell echo “foo”

That’s curious.

If you still see this on the development branch, please file a bug on github at github.com/ansible/ansible with steps to reproduce.
