It's not clear what OS you're using. But if you're running a
Unix/Linux system and it's a relatively simple script that you want to
run, you should just use the ssh command coupled with the name of the
command you want to run (you don't even need the agent to use python,
necessarily). For example,

ssh user at foo bar

Will ssh to machine 'foo' as user 'user' and execute command 'bar' on
that machine (rather than launching a shell, which is what ssh will do
if no command is specified). When the command exits, ssh will exit as
well.
