DUT = platform()
DUT connect
DUT config {commands}
DUT show {commands}
DUT destroy

But I know this is not easy to do in python.

Actually, as long as args (commands) continue to be space separated, it is. One way would be to add the following after the class statement.

def execute(file):
    with open(file) as f:
        ns = {}
        for line in f:
             if '=' in line:
                 exec(line, ns)
             else:
                 fields = line.split()
                 exec('%s.%s(*%s)' %
                      (fields[0], fields[1], fields[2:]), nd)

if __name__ = __main__:
    import sys
    execute(sys.argv[1])

If the module is platform.py, then the command line usage would be
> platform <script>

To test, temporarily put print('connect'), etc, in each method.

If only one platform instance can exist at a time, then users need not name it and repeatedly use it.
