You will still need to worry about escaping because on the remote end you invoke ssh which is a shell. The obvious call: subprocess.call(["ssh", "remoteuser@remote", "python", "remote.py", "arg 1", "arg 2", "arg 3"]) won't work because ssh will break up the "arg n" strings. You need to use "'arg n'" or put the whole python command in a string like: "python TEST/testargs.py 'arg 1' 'arg 2' 'arg 3'" -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
