yes, i have misstated the problem in my initial question a bit, sorry. I know about the ansible_python_interpreter and it does take care of the simplejson error, as instead of using the interpreter that is available in PATH it uses what i have specified. So the only question about that variable right now for me is if this can be set globally? I'll take a look at the ansible.cfg related docs.
as for the PATH or ansible_env.PATH my current understanding is that the idea is to avoid creation of playbooks that might depend too heavily on t the PATH and therefore may become error prone. The way to change though is through "environment: PATH". Am I correct? Thanks!
