Solution 1:

This happens if there is no python installed on the remote hosts. The ansible documentation suggests doing this for every host by hand: ansible myhost --sudo -m raw -a "yum install -y python2 python-simplejson"

- name: Bootrstrap python hosts: localhost tasks: raw: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y python-simplejson delegate_to: '{{ item }}' with_items: {{ groups["hosts"] }}

1. apt-get install -y python2.7 python-simplejson on remote server. Not necessary remove any other versions.
