Use StringIO with put:

text = '''
import sys, os

sys.path.insert(0, "/ruby/%s/www/%s/django-projects")
sys.path.insert(0, "/ruby/%s/www/%s/django-projects/project")

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'project.settings'
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
''' % (user, host, user, host)

import StringIO
put(StringIO.StringIO(text), "remote-path")
