No Ansible support for Python 3 just yet.

For Ubuntu 16.04 I use the following play to get Python 2.7 installed.

  - hosts: xenials
    gather_facts: False
    tasks:
      - name: apt-get update
        raw: apt-get update -qq
      - name: Install python 2.7
        raw: apt-get install -qq python2.7

That provides an /usr/bin/python2.7, which I explicitly point to in my
inventory file.

  [xenials:vars]
  ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python2.7

Do note that there is nothing special about the name xenials. It's just
a group I have defined in my inventory.
