They are both Ubuntu Server 18.04.4

I bet python isn’t installed, Dang it,

Thanks for pointing it out.

It is more likely that \*only\* Python3 is installed. Set the ansible\_python\_interpreter variable  
to /usr/bin/python3.

Correct, python2 isn't installed on Ubuntu 18.04 because it's EOL.  
Configure ansible\_python\_interpreter to use python3, and don't bother  
with python2 anymore.
