Re: [ansible-project] ansible unable to initiate SSH sessions to clients on OS X

Did you roughly follow the instructions here, particularly the part about installing Xcode:

Hello and thank you for taking time to read into this issue I'm having.

I have three environments, two OS X and one Centos. The two OS X environments are unable to initiate a playbook but the Centos environment can. The message I'm receiving from the OS X machines is:

TASK [RUN 'SHOW VERSION'] ******************************************************
fatal: [iosv0001]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "paramiko is required but does not appear to be installed"}

Conversly here is the output from the Centos machine:

TASK [RUN 'SHOW VERSION'] ******************************************************
ok: [iosv0001]

Here is a quick list of installed python libraries on both machines:

$ pip list
ansible (2.1.0.0)
cffi (1.6.0)
cryptography (1.3.2)
enum34 (1.1.6)
idna (2.1)
ipaddress (1.0.16)
Jinja2 (2.8)
junos-eznc (1.3.1)
lxml (3.6.0)
MarkupSafe (0.23)
ncclient (0.4.7)
netaddr (0.7.18)
netmiko (0.5.1)
paramiko (2.0.0)
pip (8.1.2)
pyasn1 (0.1.9)
pycparser (2.14)
pycrypto (2.6.1)
PyYAML (3.11)
scp (0.10.2)
setuptools (19.4)
six (1.10.0)
vboxapi (1.0)
virtualenv (15.0.2)
wheel (0.26.0)

A further debug on the OS X machines may provide a clue to those more experienced than I:

I read on Juniper's Ansible github that there could be conflicts with Virtualenvs, I ran into this same issue within a virtualenv anyways so I am trying these out on my system's native environment.

I should note that I can connect to a remote device through the 'missing' library of Paramiko, so I doubt that's really the issue at hand.

I am rapidly running out of hair to pull in my old age, can anyone work with me on figuring out the root cause?
