When running ansible for the first time after upgrading from version 1.9.4 to 2.0.0.1, it crashed with the following output: Unexpected Exception: The 'paramiko' distribution was not found and is required by ansible the full traceback was: Traceback (most recent call last): [...] blablablapythontracebackblablabla [...] DistributionNotFound: The 'paramiko' distribution was not found and is required by ansible Turns out I didn't have the "paramiko" USE flag. Re-emerging ansible with the "paramiko" USE flag fixed it.
ya, they statically import it now, fixed in r1
