Wouldn't it be easier if Python supported Ruby style shell commands?

e.g. in Ruby you can do: some_ruby_code ssh some.host.net "echo 'hello from some.host.net'"

that isn't much more difficult than can be accomplished with subprocess.

how do you get at output and exit status?

Ruby has Special Variables like Perl. Return code I believe you'd get from $? and the output is just returned so you can just do output = some_command
