Hello Roark,

If the command does not change over time, an option could be to
encapsulate the command and the output behind an XML-RPC interface. I
used it several times now and for me this works perfectly. XML-RPC is
part of the Python standard library, so it should work out of the box
on windows and linux. It also supports mixed programming languages
(maybe C# on windows to get the info you want and python on linux on
the client).

Kind regards,

Marco
