ImportError: No Module named yaml | Ansible

Question

Computer: MacBook Pro mid 2012, running El Capitan 10.11.4

Python version 2.7.10

I\'ve been trying to install ansible from source, and I\'ve run these two co

Answer 1

For python 3.6 you can install it with

pip3 install pyyaml

if there is a problem in importing, do

pip3 uninstall pyyaml

and then install it again:

pip3 install pyyaml

Answer 2

Had the same issue. Got past it using @FranMowinckel's answer.

First I typed:

pip --version 

it outputted python 3. But, when I tried:

sudo python -m pip install pyyaml

I got an error saying:

Error: No module named pip

So, finally running:

sudo easy_install pip

everything worked fine. Go back and run:

sudo python -m pip install pyyaml

(you may have to run this with all the other modules as well) Now you should finally be able to run your initial command which failed.

Answer 3

Do you have yaml module installed? If not, try installing yaml using the following command:

sudo pip install pyyaml

Answer 4

This should work:

sudo pip install pyyaml    

Answer 5

Try this

pip install ruamel.yaml

Answer 6

@bigdata2's answer is correct but it might also happen that there's a conflict with python 3. So, check pip version (pip --version) and if it outputs python 3 then:

sudo python -m pip install pyyaml

So it gets installed for the same version as python.
