What do you use ruby for?
I will happily direct your attention here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet

Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
We started by decoupling Puppet from Facter as much as we could, introducing the possibility of having multiple Facter backends. While Puppet would use the default Facter implementation when running on its own, external users would be able to define and pass their own Facter implementation when initializing Puppet, similar to how puppetserver configures Puppet to use its JRuby-compliant HTTP client.

Maybe Rex (https://www.rexify.org/)? You'll need to know Perl, but Perl is in base and really good for this sort of thing.

Perl analogue of Python's doit?
First, I thought Doit on CPAN could be a replacement for the Python version. Then I looked at pydoit, and as mentioned before by u/sudo-batman (thanks!), Rex might be interesting to take a look at.
