When I attempt to use the ansible azure plugin to provision a new vm on azure with azure_rm_virtualmachine I am getting the following error:
failed: [localhost] (item=zk01) => {"changed": false, "item": "zk01", "msg": "Do you have packaging installed? Try
pip install packaging- No module named packaging.version"}
However, I do happen to have that package installed:

My suspicion is that it has to do with my local python pointing to the homebrew install of python:
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
And the ansible package looking for the native mac version of python:
From azure_rm_virtualmachine.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
It's even more perplexing to me because I have no problems with other ansible modules as I use it extensively.
Does this mean that I should uninstall the homebrew version?
