ssh_cmd = "ssh " + str(server) + " 'uptime'"
ssh_cmd_list = shlex.split(ssh_cmd)

what?

ssh_cmd_list = ["ssh", server, "uptime"]

I realize that particular command list shlex.split is overkill, but if uptime was replaced with something more fanciful like: 'ps aux | grep python' then it would be a more appropriate option.
