StringIO with put works with a little bit of editing. Try this:

put(StringIO.StringIO(
'''
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)), "remote-path")

if you have an issue with permissions, try this:

put(StringIO.StringIO(
'''
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)), "remote-path", use_sudo=True)
