[Tutor] connect to a remote machine - Linux

[Patricia]

Hi All,

I need to connect to a remote computer on the same network to store data into 
its mysql database, and I need to do this using python script.

Although I've used mysql and python before, I have no idea how to access a 
remote computer with Python. Also, I would have to enter a passphrase and 
password to successfully connect to it.. 

I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!!

Patricia
