Arrrr. You really got my hopes up with that PuSSH description. I browesed the code quickly and it's just... not what i was looking for. First disapointment - no classes, not an absolute must but still. Second, it uses os.system. A lot. Here's a good one:

os.system('echo %s:' % (host))

Also the way exceptions are used sometimes is just wrong:

try: target = arguments[0]
except IndexError:
print "PUSSH(001) Error: no target specified."
os._exit(1)

Functions have funny names and there are more comments than actual code at times. The function that i think is used to schedule work for threads is called SliceyNicey. Uhm, ok.

if (parallel == sequence) or (parallel == sequence):

Better safe than sorry eh? And theres more! In short The code is a mess.

I liked your post very much, It's just what I needed.

In a few days I'm gonna try the library.

Thanks.

BTW: I'll try PSSH

You could also look into pexpect: http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ which lets you
control the installed SSH via the pxssh class.
