Hello,
I'm having problems with module vmware_guest_snapshot. Any solution?

[root@ges1ansibledes ansible]# ansible --version
ansible 2.4.1.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Nov 21 2013, 10:50:32) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]

According to the documentation on the web http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vmware_guest_snapshot_module.html vmware_guest_snapshot - Manages virtual machines snapshots in vcenter  Requirements : python >= 2.6 & PyVmomi but ...

 - settings "validate_certs: True" option,  it shows :

pyVim does not support changing verification mode with python < 2.7.9. Either update python or or use validate_certs=false"

 - settings "validate_certs: False" option,  it shows : 

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSLContext'

I try with pyvmomi  5.5.0 and 6.0.0
