Yes!

Twisted <http://twistedmatrix.com/> has python implementations of an ssh
client and server, and I believe it can do this.  It can also do other wacky
stuff like connection forwarding.  It's called "conch".

On the other hand, you should be able to do it pretty easily with the
standard OpenSSH client, so you might find it easier to simply call
os.system("ssh user at host some_command"), depending on what you're doing.
