Hi PyTutor Folks
Here is my situation
1. I have two machines. Lets call them local & remote.
Both run ubuntu & both have python installed
2. I have a python script, local.py, running on local which needs to pass
arguments ( 3/4 string arguments, containing whitespaces like spaces, etc ) to
a python script, remote.py running on remote (the remote machine).
I have the following questions:
1. What's the best way to accomplish my task ?
I have researched quite a bit & so far found really conflicting & complex
workarounds.
I googled & found people using several libraries to accomplish ssh to remote
machine & execute a command on remote machine.
paramiko ( now forked into the ssh moduke), fabric, pushy ,etc
People who have used any of these libraries, which one would you recommend, as
the most apt (simple & easy to use, lightweight, best performance, etc) for my
situation ?
2. I would prefer a solution, which does NOT require the installation of extra
libraries on the local & remote machines.
If installing external librar
3. Has anybody been able to do this using os.system ?
I tried this
>>> import os
>>> os.system ("ssh remoteuser@remote python remote.py arg1 arg2 arg3")
This worked, but if the arguments i tried to pass, had spaces, i was not able
to 'escape' the spaces.
Any & all explanations/links/code
snippets/thoughts/ideas/suggestions/feedback/comments/ of the Python tutor
community would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton
cheers
