We build our own package repositories.

Maybe.  It will probably take a while.  My a priori guess, knowing
that we don't directly use any python programs is that it's either
some Nagios plugin or some Munin plugin (there are a few that are
written in python) that's actually causing the files to get updated.
There's nothing else that should be running as root on these systems.
If I get a moment, I can check which plugins meet those criteria and
try disabling them.
