ansible can't find pycurl on OSX

Question

I\'m just getting started with ansible, and I\'m trying to get it to work with the linode module from OSX Yosemite. I\'m using brew-installed Python, and pip-instal

Answer 1

I was able to fix this on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 by editing hosts:

[local]
localhost ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python

You may then need additional Python dependencies:

pip install pycurl
pip install linode-python

Answer 2

It's happening on ubuntu as well, finally figured out the solution. You need to explicity pass path to python executable

Change Ansible hosts file from

[local]
localhost

to

[local]
localhost ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python

or to your virtual environment python path.
