Yay, 2 year old thread :).
The way you solve this is by modifying your inventory for localhost with
the proper setting:
#inventory file
localhost ansible_python_interpreter="/usr/bin/env python"
This will automatically pick up the active virtualenv's python interpreter
and modules that you've installed there, including boto. You don't need to
run any tasks to discover the path to the python interpreter.
