'issue with ipaddr filter to filter mac adress

I would check the entered mac_address syntax with the ipaddr filter which requires netaddr python package to use it. The netaddr is already installed in my controller Requirement already satisfied: netaddr in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (0.7.19)

but when i run the playbook this what i get

---
  - name: test MAC address manipulation
    hosts: all
    strategy: free
    gather_facts: no
    connection: local
    no_log: false

    # vars_prompt:
      # - name: "macaddress"
        # prompt: "mac address?"
        # private: no

    vars:
      macaddress: "1a-2b-3c-4d-5e-6f"

    tasks:
      - name: display all the formats
        ignore_errors: true
        debug:
           msg:
             - Original = {{ macaddress  }}
             - ""
             - "{ macaddress | ansible.utils.hwaddr('bool') }        = {{ macaddress | ansible.utils.hwaddr('bool') }}"
