Hi all,  
I’m trying to run make install on my copy of ansible checked out from source. The make task runs fine, but I ansible is complaining that it can’t find the setup module.  
Looking at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible-1.8-py2.7.egg/ansible after running the make task, I cannot find setup.ps1 anywhere.

What I’ve done:  
cloned the repo  
run git submodule update --init --recursive

In my repo folder, the setup.ps1 file exists in the windows dir inside modules. Am I looking in the wrong place? The exact error I’m getting is:  
“module setup not found in configured module paths. Additionally, core modules are missing. If this is a checkout, run ‘git submodule update --init --recursive’ to correct this problem.”

Here’s the output of searching for setup.ps1 and powershell.ps1 if that gives any indication of the issue:

What do you have for the output of “ansible --version” ?
