So I downloaded the python 2.7.5 msi from their website: 
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/ and installing it manually 
works exactly as one would expect. However, it seems that the puppet 
installation of it does some weird things. My manifest is simple:

package ('Python 2.7.5': 
  ensure => present,
  source => "\\file\share\python-2.7.5.msi",
  provider => 'windows',
}

and it certainly runs the install and creates the folders and files I would 
expect. However, it does not appear in the 'Programs and Features' panel 
and cannot be uninstalled by changing ensure to 'absent'. 

Looking at a machine that installed it manually and a machine that 
installed through puppet, one of the things that stood out to me is that 
many of the registry keys found when I search for Python in regedit on the 
manual installation don't show up on the puppet installed version. 

I'm not sure where to start looking.

Thanks for the help!
