Ansible on OS X requires python passlib module to create user password hashes
sudo easy_install pip
pip install passlib
Have done as it’s suggested and still can’t provision…
###EDIT###
If you install Ansible through Homebrew, you may find yourself needing these commands…
mkdir -p ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
echo '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' > ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/homebrew.pthYou’re just missing the ‘–user’ switch.
sudo easy_install pip
pip install --user passlib
Hi
I am having this same issue when attempting to provision my staging env.

When I run pip install passlib
I get this:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: passlib in /Users/joshb/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (1.7.4)
➜ trellis git:(staging)
I’m not exactly sure what to do here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Still looking for some help with this… can someone please help me?
I went ahead and started a new trellis instance locally for multi-site with subdomains and was able to get that up and running successfully.
The issue when attempting to provision my new staging environment remains the same and I can’t determine the reason behind this.
Really hope someone can assist.
Here’s the error I receive one last time:

Seems like it wants you to update Python. Have you tried that?
Yeah, I ran:
brew install python@3.7
Output:
==> Caveats
Python has been installed as
/usr/local/opt/python@3.7/bin/python3
Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
/usr/local/opt/python@3.7/libexec/bin
You can install Python packages with
/usr/local/opt/python@3.7/bin/pip3 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
See: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python
python@3.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have python@3.7 first in your PATH, run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@3.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find python@3.7 you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/python@3.7/lib"
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.7/3.7.12_1: 4,526 files, 70.9MB
python --version in my terminal then returns:
Python 2.7.16
MacOS 
The “system version” of Python isn’t replaced by Brew’s version (as it mentions in the install output). You’ll need to convince MacOS to use Python 3 instead of the version it ships with (or potentially use pipenv).
Thanks! I will give it a try later.
I don’t understand why this is an issue so suddenly.
Alright, so I have that installed and I am in the pipenv shell.
Checking the Python version I get this:
((trellis) ) ➜ trellis git:(staging) ✗ python --version
Python 3.9.7
Then I attempt to provision and I still get this:
TASK [common : Check whether passlib is needed] ******

sudo easy_install pip
pip install passlib
fatal: [staging.project.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false}
From here I attempt to install pip and passlib from the pipenv, provision again and still get the same error.
If I remove the following lines from /roles/common/tasks/main.yml, then of course it continues on:
- name: Check whether passlib is needed
fail:

I’m locking this topic since you’re now posting about unrelated issues, but please open another topic if you are still having trouble. Make sure to make separate topics for separate issues.
The response from @benspants is still valid, and since some folks reading this don’t have access to Roots Slack, here’s what I said over there regarding this:
it looks like even though your system python’s version is on 3, your pip setup is using python 2. you could try setting up pyenv properly to get around it
