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
