Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/proxmoxer/proxmoxer/issues/37

When executing an ansible playbook on Macos Catalina (Apple) I continue to have the fatal error: "fatal: [proxy-test]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "proxmoxer required for this module"}

This is not a proxmoxer issue, but some Apple thing I assume.

pip3 show proxmoxer 1.1.1, Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages
ansible 2.9.13 using python version = 3.8.5
Macos: 10.15.7

Initially poxmoxer was installed in python3.7/site-packages. Removing and reinstalling proxmoxer wiht pip3 fixed that and it is now in python3.8/site-packages. Yet the behaviour remains the same. I can run the same playbook normally when I "ssh -A" into a debian10 VM running on the same Apple laptop.

What extra debug info can I enable to find the reason for the error? Is someone familiar with the same behaviour on an Apple and was that fixed?

This seems to be an issue with Ansible, not proxmoxer. Please file a bug report with Ansible so people with knowledge of Ansible can help you with this issue.

Thx for your reply, I did not expect ansible could be the problem. I will follow up with them.
