[python-win32] Executing a program on a remote machine

[Martin Richard]

It seems just using 'rsh' should work.

One technique would be to use DCOM.  You would register a Python COM
object on each machine, then you could use win32com.client.DispatchEx()
to invoke and call it.  IIRC, the objects being registered will require
a custom clsctx which includes pythoncom.CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER. "Python
Programming on Win32" demonstrates how to do all this.

Another fairly reliable technique would be to install a service on each
machine, and use XMLRPC or some such to communicate.  This service could
then spawn child processes as each request came in, and would not rely
on having a user logged in.  Python provides most of the building blocks
you need if you are happy to roll your own.
