Both popular frameworks for python SSH  - twisted and paramiko - are still
being ported to python3. If you need to run your code on Windows, take a
look at plink, a command line tool for PuTTY:

You can wrap plink and your python script in a batch-file or call plink
from inside your script using subprocess.
