How to Install ansible in virtualenv?

I need create some virtual environment on one Ubuntu 12.04 and run ansible inside it on another (where I can't install anything (there is no Internet connection).

I tried to install Ansible inside virtual enviroment:

export venv_name="ansible_virt_env"
mkdir ~/venv && cd ~/venv
echo "Virtualenv ${venv_name} directory" > README
virtualenv --no-site-packages --prompt="ansible" ${venv_name:-venv}
. ~/venv/${venv_name:-venv}/bin/activate
~/venv/${venv_name:-venv}/bin/pip install  -U pip
~/venv/${venv_name:-venv}/bin/pip install  -U setuptools
~/venv/${venv_name:-venv}/bin/pip install ansible

But it failed:

ansibleroot@[RDE1.3]:~/venv# ~/venv/${venv_name:-venv}/bin/pip install  -U setuptools
Collecting setuptools

/root/venv/ansible_virt_env/include/site/python2.7/cffi: Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libffi.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libffi' found Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.

I installed libffi-dev: apt-get install libffi-dev

And ansible doen't work: /root/venv/ansible_virt_env/bin/ansible ERROR! Unexpected Exception: jinja2 the full traceback was:

For what it's worth, I had the same problem with ansible 2.1.0.0 (installed via pip), Jinja 2.8, paramiko 2.0.1. Updating ansible to 2.2.1.0 solved the problem (resulting also in an update to Jinja2 to 2.8.1).
