I tried to import ansible.runner in a Python script but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./boot-device.py", line 5, in 
    import ansible.runner
ImportError: No module named runner

When I search the ansible package, I can not find any file called runner.

I have installed ansible 2.1.1.0-1ppa~trust and python 2.7.5-5ubuntu3.

Which package I need to use Ansible's runner module?

There is an issue at Ansible's GitHub repository about this. The runner module does not exist anymore because of backward-incompatible changes in Ansible's Python API. You would have to change your script accordingly as detailed in Ansible's documentation about its Python API.

P.S.: I was considering providing actual code for the changes you need to make but that would seem out of scope for Ask Ubuntu and would fit in better at Stack Overflow. If you have questions about Ansible's Python API, you should ask them at Stack Overflow.

  • This means the simple runner examples, one can find on the net, are all obsolete?

  • @ceving I would imagine so since you can't even import the runner module anymore unless you make sure you are using the pre-2.0 version of Ansible's Python API.
