Error installing python-netaddr on CentOS7 controller

Describe the bug
I get the following error when running the role against a Ubuntu 18.04 node.
TASK [dj-wasabi.zabbix-agent : Install local python-netaddr package] ***************************************************
FAILED - RETRYING: Install local python-netaddr package (3 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Install local python-netaddr package (2 retries left).
FAILED - RETRYING: Install local python-netaddr package (1 retries left).
fatal: [djj-fhya-test -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 3, "changed": false, "msg": "Unable to find any of pip2, pip to use. pip needs to be installed."}
pip3 and pip2 are both installed on the target node:
$ pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)
Installation method/version
Installed using Ansible Galaxy, role version: 2.1.0
Ansible Version
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.9.2
Targetted hosts
~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Expected behavior
Python netaddr library is installed and role runs to completion without a fatal error.
Additional context
The Ansible controller is running on a CentOS7 host.
If I run pip install netaddr directly on the target node, it installs fine:
********@djj-fhya-test:~$ pip install netaddr
Collecting netaddr

Successfully installed netaddr-0.7.19
But after installing netaddr manually with pip, the role still fails on the same step:
TASK [dj-wasabi.zabbix-agent : Install local python-netaddr package] ***************************************************
FAILED - RETRYING: Install local python-netaddr package (3 retries left).

Ohhhh, I see - netaddr is required on the controller not the target node. 🤦♂
I've never encountered a situation with Ansible where additional python libraries are required on the controller, so I totally didn't have this on my radar. :(
