ImportError: No module named markup safe

[davestacey]

I am close but stuck on:
"ImportError: No module named markup safe"
I tried to workaround manually by vagrant ssh and sudo easy_install jinja2 but no luck. - Thanks!

vagrant provision

It does look like you are close. After digging around, it looks like Jinja has added a new dependency on the MarkupSafe package since I installed it (I'm on version 2.6 - you can check your version by typing pip freeze in your terminal - at least for pip packages). Try running sudo pip install markupsafe or sudo easy_install markupsafe.

Side note: From what you said, it looks like you ran sudo easy_install jinja2 on your vagrant-provisioned vm (after vagrant ssh). Any Ansible dependencies will need to be installed on your root machine - the one running Ansible - not the provisioning target (there will be no effect there, and anything you need on the target machine should be installed by Ansible).

Let me know if this works. If it does, I'll plan to update the docs. Thanks for trying out Project Quicksilver!

Maybe it didn't help him/her, but it did help me. Thanks! :D

Hi
i have downloaded jinja2 from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Jinja2
and put it in C:\Python27 location.
i am getting import error

from markupsafe import Markup, escape, soft_unicode
ImportError: No module named markupsafe

could you please suggest what should i do to get markupsafe module.

[vivekraunak]

so it was very simple
i downloaded markupsafe from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MarkupSafe and put it in https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Jinja2
and it worked!! :-)

helped me as well...
"pip install markupsafe"

[jussiheinonen]

'pip install markupsafe' did the job for me as well

[geerlingguy]

Same here, for some reason; I only ran into this after I had attempted to install ansible on a fresh Debian 8 VM and had forgotten to install build-essential prior to pip install ansible. The install failed during pycrypto install, and I ran into this error even after uninstalling and reinstalling Ansible.

'pip install markupsafe' did not work for me. I had to download the markupsafe tarball and do sudo python setup.py install to install it.

"sudo pip install markupsafe" worked for me

[mikeratnam]

The Markupsafe Version on your flask framework (pip freeze) and the version in requirements.txt should be the same.

@ ejhw I solved the problem as your way. Thank you very much.

[bulught]

It surely did help me, Thanks!

I've tried rdickert's solution, with no success. But downloading the markupsafe tar ball did, thank you ejhw for the tip
