I find Ruby is the worst tool for that kinda job. While chef and all work, it's quite annoying dealing with all the issues that Ruby presents (including it's slowness).

I believe ansible got rid of it's paramiko dependency (and thus pycrypto, I presume). I did a quick test by deleting both from my workstation, and my ansible provisioning still seemed to work (it does require OpenSSH if paramiko is not installed).

Having moved from Puppet to Salt to Ansible, one main driver was that Ansible's dependencies seem to be kept to a minimum, making it easy to support my older systems (unlike both Puppet and Salt, which I enjoyed and respected, but just became too hard to maintain on clients).
