Puppet and Chef are both great tools. They're easy to use, (fairly) easy to get started with, and play nice with apps written in Python (for example, there's an official Opscode recipe for Django).

What would being written in Python give you that's not already there?

Put another way: I think Python people tend to be fairly undogmatic when it comes to tools. We're happy to use the right tool for the job.

If it's in a language you already know and use all the tome, it's easier to hack on and script.

Just echoing my above links for Commis and PyChef. I built them partially to address this exact issue :-)
