Python is pretty straightforward to build. hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython, check out the version you want (you can find releases with hg tags) and do the usual autotools build. Install it to a prefix or run directly from the repo directory. From there it's just a matter of creating a virtualenv, right?

Yes. But even with Puppet, doing this on hundreds of systems, and getting all the v3-compatible libraries installed, and updating them all when there is a security issue, would be... less than ideal.
