SUMMARY
Parts of the original instructions for how to install Ansible into a virtualenv with Python 3 were incorrect and did not work on all systems. This updated guide forces the virtualenv to use Python 3, it correctly sources the "activate" script, and I have added additional documentation for how to handle the SELinux libraries on RHEL based systems.
ISSUE TYPE

Python 3 Support
ANSIBLE VERSION
2.4.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other minor formatting has been updated to make it consistent (such as spacing for code blocks and starting commands with "$ " to indicate a non-root user shell prompt).
