Oleg,

This appears to be a known bug in how Python packages are using
`.command.real` wrappers.  See Bug #26752, "Ansible & others' problems
with wrapped '.ansible.real' scripts":
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26752 and
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=31299.

This patch only attempts to update the version of ansible and its
dependencies.  It's possible that the patch is created against the wrong
branch and therefore doesn't include any changes that would fix this
behaviour.  As it is today, the current version of ansible on `master`
exhibits the same behaviour.

Unfortunately, I personally don't have a work around in place for this
yet.

Regards,
-Kenny
