Log in to remote Linux shell in Python

Question

I want to write script on python which could execute shell commands on a remote server.

I find out that I could use something like:

# set environment, start new shell
p = Popen("/path/to/env.sh", stdin=PIPE)

# pass commands to the opened shell
p.communicate("python something.py\nexit")

But I do not understand how can I login to remote Linux server and execute shell commands there?

@pss That one is "without actually logging in". This one is with logging in. Although the answer basically says "log in, dude". — Veedrac

Look into using Paramiko or Pyro4 or fabric. All of these should do what you would like.
