Ansible is now available as an RPM from the EPEL repo. It pulls in all the dependencies needed by Ansible (Python libraries, libyaml and sshpass). The RPM provides Ansible version 2.0.2.0 which includes a number of bug fixes including a security one (CVE-2016-3096). This is a lot easier to handle than fiddling with Python’s package manager of the day.
$ sudo yum install ansible
