use SSH over Python

Question

How do I run this SSH on a python script?

ssh [email protected] 'DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "Title" "Description"'

My python script will ask for a raw_input() for the Title, and another one for the Description. Then the python will run the SSH inserting the Title and Description typed by the user.

Take a look at Fabric.

    '''ssh [email protected] 'DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "{0}" "{1}"' '''.format(title, description),
    shell=True)

And don't forget to properly escape your input if it comes from the user :)

How do I properly escape the input? I mean it keeps getting error when using apostrophes.

If you're going to want a little more control, you should also check out the paramiko library: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko It's an SSH2 library for python.
