[SOLVED] Make RPM Ansible fails with Python error

Issue

I'm trying to install Ansible on a machine with RHEL 7.2 in order to create an Ansible Server.

I need Ansible v2.4 or newer and for this I've performed the following steps:

 1. yum -y install git asciidoc rpm-build python2-devel
 2. cd /usr/src
 3. git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
 4. cd ansible
 5. git checkout stable-2.4

Since now everything worked fine, but now I want to run this command:

make rpm and after that: yum install rpm-build/ansible-2.4-0.git201601051704.a2a786e.stable201.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

But when I'm running make rpm, I received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "packaging/release/versionhelper/version_helper.py", line 9, in <module>
    from packaging.version import Version, VERSION_PATTERN
ImportError: No module named packaging.version
Makefile:39: *** "version_helper failed".  Stop.

Solution

I've just found the solution for my problem:

run pip install packaging
