That depends on how you'd execute any command on a remote machine.  On
Unix systems, the preferred way these days is to use ssh:

    bignose at desktop$ ssh bignose at remoteserver 'command -with -args'

Assuming the 'ssh' command is available on the local machine, you could
execute the above command within the Python script using os.system():
