Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Python 2.7.5 installation with puppet incomplete?

So I downloaded the python 2.7.5 msi from their website: 
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/ and installing it manually 
works exactly as one would expect. However, it seems that the puppet 
installation of it does some weird things. My manifest is simple:

package (''Python 2.7.5'': 
  ensure => present,
  source => "\\file\share\python-2.7.5.msi",
  provider => ''windows'',
}

and it certainly runs the install and creates the folders and files I would 
expect. However, it does not appear in the ''Programs and
Features'' panel
and cannot be uninstalled by changing ensure to ''absent''. 

Looking at a machine that installed it manually and a machine that 
installed through puppet, one of the things that stood out to me is that 
many of the registry keys found when I search for Python in regedit on the 
manual installation don''t show up on the puppet installed version. 

I''m not sure where to start looking.

Thanks for the help!

Apologies, this appears to be an issue with python''s msi and not with 
puppet.
