So I have an ansible playbook with some custom python modules in the library folder. Works like a charm however, when I import a separate custom python module inside the python script ansible throws an error “no module named “. When I run the python script directly it can import that separate module without problem.

ansible-playbook:

---
- name: Do ding
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  hosts: localhost

  tasks:
  - name: do the ding
    ding:

library/ding.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from dong import myperfextprintsolution

def main():
    myperfextprintsolution("printsomething")
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

library/dong.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3


def myperfextprintsolution(myvariable):
    print(myvariable)

    return

I know I don’t provide module_stdin od module_stdout so it will give an error anyway but it’s about the “no module named ‘dong’n”. I also added the library path to ansible.cfg

library = ~/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules:./library

but that doesn’t help much. Any ideas ?
