Python venv - ImportError: No module named pyvcloud.vcd.org

[theovich]

Describe the bug

Hello,
I would like to run a module in python venv, but
for simple playbook I get this traceback even if pyvcloud is installed.
What can I do to make it work?

Thank you for your help.

@theovich I could see two issues here,

1. You have installed pyvcloud for python 3.6 but somehow it is looking for python 2.7.
2. Did you have ansible.cfg in the same folder which is part of this project? This config tells actually where to look for modules and their utilities.
