Also have a look at pexpect which essentially wraps command line calls.
I use it to automate mysql backups on my webfaction account. Here's
the meat of the code:
import pexpect
cmd = "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'mysqldump --opt -p foodb > foodb.sql'"
child = pexpect.spawn(cmd)
# expect mysql to prompt for a db password
child.expect('Enter password: ')
# send the password
child.sendline("nottherealpassword")

It looks like there is now a pexpect SSH module. I've not used it, just
FYI:
http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/pxssh.html
I hope that helps.
Eric.
