After installing ansible and python using homebrew, if I run ansible it crashes after calling into python's markupsafe:
$ ansible

Also to note: this is on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

As is indicated by the fact that markupsafe is in the 'site-packages' directory, markupsafe is a 3rd party library and is not part of the python standard library. Most likely the version of markupsafe you have does not match the one ansible is expecting, but if that isn't enough info to solve your problem you should reach out for support from the anisble community.

I'll track things down in that direction. Thanks, David.
