... but the question is what kind of simplification / comfort increase 
you are hoping to get from a custom python script of your own compared 
to what WinSCP or Putty already offer. How are they making things 
"extremely annoying" for you?
You can certainly learn a lot from writing or even just trying to write 
such a Python script, but in terms of functionality gain vs time 
invested I doubt the endeavor is worth it.
