2. The background of the error

When I installed setuptools in ansible-playbook, it terminated unexpectedly, and then executed the ansible command to report this error.

None of the solutions I searched on the Internet can solve my problem. The methods that are useless to me are as follows:

        1. Many people say that they want to uninstall the cryptography package and reinstall ansible

        2. Insufficient memory, need to increase memory: I checked that the server has sufficient memory

        ……

Tried various methods to no avail.

3. Solution :

Re-decompress and install the setuptools-33.1.1.zip package:

cd setuptools-33.1.1  

python setup.py install

After the execution is complete, try the ansible command again. Some friends may not be setuptools, or they may not be able to execute after installing a certain package, please try it yourself.
