I'd say it is easier to just do "gem install puppet" if you have ruby already installed.

https://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine if you're deploying a Rails app to a VPS like Linode or Slicehost.

It's a handy wrapper around puppet that lets you go from bare server to fully deployed Rails app with one config file, two commands, and about 10 minutes of automated package installs.

this looks pretty cool. Happen to know any similar projects for python?

And "apt-get install puppet" if you're on Debian or Ubuntu.
