pushing python to multiple windows machines

[shkelley]

I am working on a project that requires python to be installed on a
large number of windows servers and was wondering if anyone has found a
method to do this. I found the article from 2003, but nobody ever
stated that they have found an option for this.

You can use WMI to install an Msi installer on a remote machine.
The Win32_Product class has an Install method:

import win32com.client
wmi=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('wbems cripting.swbemlocator',0)
s=wmi.ConnectServer('servername')

p=s.Get('win32_product')
inparams=p.Methods_('Install').InParameters
inparams.Properties_('PackageLocation').Value=r'\\ someserver\someshare\python-2.4.2.msi'
inparams.Properties_('AllUsers').Value=True

outparams=p.ExecMethod_('Install',inparams)
print outparams.Properties_('ReturnValue') ## zero on success
