Pujo,

There are two Python oriented SSH solutions.
1. pyssh (pyssh.sf.net) which is a library for programmatically
controlling ssh.
2. Paramiko (http://www.lag.net/paramiko/) which are python bindings
for the SSH2 protocol.

I have used neither of these packages, so I am in no position to
recommend anything.

Of course, you have the usual popen() functions that you can use to
invoke SSH.
