I encountered this too. "pip list" showed "pywinrm" installed and "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/winrm/" existed on my filesystem, however Ansible kept giving me the error, as well as...
eric.herrmann@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~$ python Python 2.7.9 (default, Apr 2 2015, 15:33:21) [GCC 4.9.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import winrm Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named winrm The "/usr/local/lib/*python3.4*/dist-packages/winrm/" was the clue. You can see in the interactive python above it is "Python 2.7.9", but the package is installed under the "3.4" directory. I had several versions of python installed. When that's the case, you should also have several pip versions installed... eric.herrmann@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/pip* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 205 Oct 2 12:41 /usr/local/bin/pip -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 283 Jul 1 11:34 /usr/local/bin/pip2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 287 Jul 1 11:34 /usr/local/bin/pip2.7 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 205 Oct 2 12:41 /usr/local/bin/pip3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 205 Oct 2 12:41 /usr/local/bin/pip3.4 I ran "sudo pip2.7 install https://github.com/diyan/pywinrm/archive/master.zip#egg=pywinrm"; and it now works correctly.
