I would like to add another note for other potential users (including
myself in the future) that may encounter this problem but may be attributed
to a different root cause. I came across this problem and found out that it
was due to the pexpect version difference. My ansible was running using
Python 3.5 where my pexpect was installed for Python 2.7. I had to install
pexpect for Python 3.5 and that fixed the problem. This problem will likely
arise if you are using virtual environments.
