I don't know how to instruct Ansible to use python2.7 because it's running python3.5.2.
@Qalthos suggested I add ansible_python_interpreter=python2 in the inventory footer, but that didn't fix it.

➜  ~  python --version
Python 3.5.2
➜  ~  which python
/usr/sbin/python

[Qalthos]

@dminca Not as another line, this is a variable you are attaching to localhost, so it has to be on the same line, just as you are specifying ansible_connection=local to localhost

[dminca]

Ahh. Ok @Qalthos, will try it out and come with feedback. Thank you!
