For CentOS / Amazon Linux -- You can just

sudo pip uninstall ansible
sudo pip install ansible

I made a simple sandbox to run ansible locally in docker using amazon linux: https://github.com/diegopacheco/ansible-docker

This works for me:

pip install --user ansible

Or, as someone else just pointed out to me:

sudo amazon-linux-extras install ansible2
