Python 3 and SSH Tunnel

[Veritatem Ignotam]

I think I missed an earlier thread of this and I'm not quite sure what 
your application is, but properly allocating user permissions on your 
databases should eliminate any security concerns there. Also, for the 
tunnel, whether you're using one account or multiple (one for each 
user), those accounts should be properly secured as well.

I do not wish to change the database from listening to any other thing than localhost for security reasons, so i assume the best solution for me would be to make the program create some ssh tunnels before the saving/loading happens.
