[pytest-dev] pytest script sample

[Petr Viktorin]

Hello,
We had exactly this problem at work. I used Paramiko to connect to the
remote machines, then made openssh (i.e. shelling out to ssh) an
option too.
When we moved to pytest, I tore this out into a stand-alone plugin –
https://github.com/encukou/pytest-multihost/
Our use cases were a bit more complex, so the configuration isn't very
straightforward, but maybe you will find the plugin useful.
