Based on http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/msi/ I think python is
only being installed for the current user, not all users. You'll have to
specify ALLUSERS=1 to get that behavior. I don't see this explicitly called
out in our
docs http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#packagepackage but it
should be. Could you file a ticket?

This is one area where puppet and Add/Remove Programs differ. ARP will
manage per-user packages for the current user, but puppet does not, since
typically it's running as LocalSystem.
