Error saying FAILED changed false failed true msg the python pymongo module is required

Question

I'm trying to install PyMongo python package using pip. 

My playbook:

- hosts: tag_Name_Development
  become: true
  remote_user: user
  tasks:
    - name: install python tools
      yum: name={{ item }} state=latest
      with_items:
        - gcc
        - python-devel
        - python-setuptools
        - python-pip

    - name: install pymongo
      pip: name=pymongo state=latest

    - name: add admin user to mongo
      mongodb_user:
        login_port: 27017
        database: admin
        name: admin
        password: "{{ mongodb.admin_pass }}"
        roles: userAdminAnyDatabase
        state: present

I still end up with the following error:

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "the python pymongo module is required"}

Do you have any other version of python installed?

I'll check and let you know

Hey @Monish I figured what my issue was, I had two versions of python installed, 2.6 and 2.7 and when I tried installing pymongo, it got installed on the 2.6 python version instead of my default python version 2.7.

Thanks for the early response though.
