ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.common.yaml'

Hi :)
We use the great phpIPAM for managing our IP documencation.
Now I'm playing with ansible and I'm trying to get this module running.
I installed the module via ansible-galaxy collection install codeaffen.phpipam and pip install phpypam colour geopy inflection ipaddress .
When trying to run a task with phpipam I receive the following error message:

Hi @zep-jonas

Thank you for get in touch with us. Unfortunately there is an import inside our module_utils. This is related to early debugging tasks. We used Display class from ansible.utils.display module. But as modules do not support output stdout this class will not work. Newer versions of Ansible run into the error you describe.

Currently the CI is running for the next release, where the issue is fixed. As soon as version 1.5.0 is released you should be able to use the collection without any issues from our side.
