Puppet users - Oct 2012 - Exec python script on puppet clinet running on windows

I am trying to execute a python script from manifest file on puppet windows 
based client:

exec {''ez_setup.py  -U setuptools'':

        #command => ''C:\Python27\ez_setup.py -U
setuptools'',

        cwd     => ''C:\Python27'',

        path => ''C:\Python27;%PATH%'',

        #creates => ''C:\Program,

        require => File[''C:\Python27''], 

    }
I have ''file'' block as well, which is copies the file first,
before
execution. However, I am getting following error:
******************************************************************************
C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet Enterprise\bin>puppet agent --test

I have no idea how to debug. Pls help!

Great Thanks,

That needs to be:

path => "C:\\Python27;${path}"

Since the catalog is compiled on the master, we need to use the value of the
agent''s path fact. Since we''re interpolating, we have to use
double quotes, which then means we have to escape
backslashes.

I think that your command needs to be something like:

"python.exe ez_setup.py ..."

The issue is that the windows exec provider calls the Win32 API CreateProcess,
which may not be able to execute the script directly.

Ideally we''d have a shell provider on Windows, but we haven''t
implemented one yet, e.g. to handle shell builtins like echo, mkdir, etc

Also for general debugging, I recommend running with --debug to show what
commands each provider is executing.
