Once you start putty, it is a separate application that python doesn't
really know anything about.  How many commands are you trying to send?
If it's only one or two, you might be able to set up a putty profile
with a couple auto-commands on connect, but that's not the same thing.
If it's a long string of commands, you might be better to pscp a shell
script to the target with one command, and then call that script with
the putty profile.

I would research automating putty first, then see if there are any
options within python to accomplish the same things.
