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('wbemscripting.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
