"eppc:" is the protocol-identifier for Remote Apple Events, i.e. 
executing AppleScripts on remote machines.  (That's what that Sharing 
system preference is for.)

You want to install and use appscript.  Something like this should work:

>>> from appscript import *
>>> term=app("Terminal",url="eppc://USERNAME:PASSWORD@COMPUTER2.local")
>>> term.do_script("ls")
