I am trying to access windows host from ansible.  
In my virtual environment, “pip list” command shows these packages installed  
**winrm**  
**pywinrm**  
**xmltodict**  
**…etc…**

when I play, playbook or adhoc command it shows error like as follows:  
**FAILED! =\> {“msg”: “winrm or requests is not installed: No module named xmltodict”}**

“which python” and “which pip” commands shows my virtual environment:  
**(my\_virtual\_environment)/bin/python**  
**(my\_virtual\_environment)\*\*\*\*/bin/pip**

Pls help me to find the issue. Thanks in advance.
