[ansible-project] No module named ansible.runner

[skinnedknuckles]

Centos 7
Ansible 1.8
Python 2.7
there are some redundant entries in my environment path but I don't see how
that would cause this problem
PATH is
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/home/username/.local/bin:/home/username/bin:/etc/ansible:/etc/ansible/bin:/usr/bin/python

Every time I try to run ansible I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/etc/ansible/bin/ansible", line 25, in <module>
from ansible.runner import Runner
ImportError: No module named ansible.runner

I'm not sure if this is a problem with python or ansible but it seems like
something very basic. I've dug around the internet and all I found was

Any tips would be appreciated.

I've had this come up before. The solution for me was to check then fix the permissions of the Python libraries/packages. Which were nonexecutable when the error was present. Think it may have to do with customized umask settings.

Did this get resolved by doing this? I have python 2.7 with ubuntu 14.04
and have just come up against this error.

I can't say for sure but I do remember a python guy helping me modify some
file permissions so it certainly could have worked. Sorry I can't be more
certain.
