The proper way to install Ansible on Ubuntu 17.04

After a while, I figured that PIP is the best way to install Ansible on Ubuntu 17.04. 1.

Fix  AttributeError : 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3'    error when running Ansible:  http://www.dangtrinh.com/2017/06/how-to-fix-attributeerror-module-object.html 4. Enjoy!
