How to run a bash script in one machine from another using python?

Question

From one machine, I want to SSH into another machine and run a bash script there. How to do this using Python?

I can call a local command using subprocess:

subprocess.call(myfile.sh)

I want to call myfile.sh but from another machine.

Having seen your comment below:

import paramiko

client = paramiko.SSHClient()
#client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
client.connect(host_ip, username=your_username, password=your_password)
ftp = client.open_sftp()
ftp.put(myfile.sh)
stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(sh myfile) #or sh myfile.sh I think
print stdout

ok you don't need to use subprocess for that - you will need an ssh/ftp module like paramiko. – rabs Feb 14 '14 at 13:19
