Hi,

I am testing the k8s module on a Kubernetes cluster. I created a simple test task like this:

- name: Test  
k8s:  
kind: Namespace  
name: test-ns  
state: present  
api\_version:v1  
kubeconfig: \< some path to the kube config file\>

But when I ran the playbook, I got errors like "

ImportError: no module kubernetes".

I have locally installed Python kubernetes module on the Ansible host. Do I need to install it on the target hosts?

Thanks.
