Ansible playbook with nested python scripts - python-2.7

Question

I am trying to execute a ansible playbook which uses the script module to run a custom python script.
This custom python script is importing another python script.
On execution of the playbook the ansible command fails while trying to import the util script. I am new to ansible, please help!!
helloWorld.yaml:
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Create a directory
script: /ansible/ems/ansible-mw-tube/modules/createdirectory.py "{{arg1}}"
createdirectory.py -- Script configured in YAML playbook
#!/bin/python
import sys
import os
from hello import HelloWorld
class CreateDir:
def create(self, dirName,HelloWorldContext):
output=HelloWorld.createFolder(HelloWorldContext,dirName)
print output
return output
def main(dirName, HelloWorldContext):
c = CreateDir()
c.create(dirName, HelloWorldContext)
if __name__ == "__main__":
HelloWorldContext = HelloWorld()
main(sys.argv[1],HelloWorldContext)
HelloWorldContext = HelloWorld()
hello.py -- util script which is imported in the main script written above
#!/bin/python
import os
import sys
class HelloWorld:
def createFolder(self, dirName):
print dirName
if not os.path.exists(dirName):
os.makedirs(dirName)
print dirName
if os.path.exists(dirName):
return "sucess"
else:
return "failure"
Ansible executable command
ansible-playbook -v -i /ansible/ems/ansible-mw-tube/inventory/helloworld_host /ansible/ems/ansible-mw-tube/playbooks/helloWorld.yml -e "arg1=/opt/logs/helloworld"
Ansible version

The script module copies the script to the remote server and executes it there using the shell command. It can't find the util script, since it doesn't transfer that file - it doesn't know that it needs to do it.
You have several options, such as use copy to move both files to the server and use shell to execute them. But since what you seem to be doing is creating a directory, the file module can do that for you with no scripts necessary.
