For what it's worth, the difference between puppet vs chef essentially
comes down to 'push' vs 'pull'. There's lots of write ups on it and no
provably 'correct' answer. It really just comes down to your
preferences and needs.
Right now I'm using fabric in python to throw together some 'push'
tools. Eventually I am probably going to want to throw them away and
adopt puppet. For now, some quick scripts to brute force things will
more than get the job done.
I found this url interesting mainly for the observation, but there are
some promising looking python tools to be found too.

Unless you're just setting things up as a hobby, getting to B from A is more important--and the users of your apps couldn't care less about what language they're written in.
