Is there a way that I can use Python on Windows to execute shell scripts which are located on a remote Unix machine?
P.S: Sorry about the late edit. I do know of Paramiko, but I wanted to know if there is way of doing it without it. For starters, could it be done with subprocess()?
There is not any ‘batteries included’ module for remote shell execution in python. I’d suggest looking into Fabric , which provides a really nice interface for working through SSH on remote machines, probably a bit nicer than paramiko. You can even install Fabric on windows…
