You will still need to worry about escaping because on the remote end
you invoke ssh which is a shell. The obvious call:
subprocess.call(["ssh", "remoteuser at remote", "python", "remote.py", "arg
1", "arg 2", "arg 3"])
won't work because ssh will break up the "arg n" strings. You need to
use "'arg n'" or put the whole python command in a string like:
"python TEST/testargs.py 'arg 1' 'arg 2' 'arg 3'"
