ImportError: No module named hvac

[gowthamakanthan]

Team,

I have installed "ansible-modules-hashivault", "hvac" using pip. And created a playbook to enable a secret. Getting below import error. Have validated the packages list in the pip and all the packages are installed. I am using python 2.7. Any leads?

Howdy @gowthamakanthan, I don't see any error output attached. If you can include some additional details I'd be happy to try to help sort out what is occurring.

PATH can often get messed up with ansible if youre using a virtualenv. if you are using a venv, try:

1. deactivate (return to system python)
2. pip remove ansible hvac ansible-modules-hashivault
3. source <myvenv>/bin/activate (use your venv)
4. pip install ansible hvac ansible-modules-hashivault

let me know what you think from my comment. also please be advised that python 2 is no longer a supported language, you should migrate to python3 asap: https://www.infoq.com/news/2019/09/python-2-end-of-life-approaching/

Yeah just had the same issue @gowthamakanthan .

The problem is lack of the package on a remote machine not your host. This should fix it assuming package/pip versions match your environment:

- name: Install pip for more dependencies down the line
  apt:
    pkg:
      - python3-pip
      - python-setuptools
    state: present
    update-cache: yes
    install_recommends: no
    cache_valid_time: 3600

- name: Install pips for vault module
  pip:
    name:
      - hvac==0.10.8
    executable: pip3
