I haven't tried this but fabric looks encouraging:

fabric.operations.run(*args, **kwargs)
Run a shell command on a remote host.
...
Any text entered in your local terminal will be forwarded to the
remote program as it runs, thus allowing you to interact with
password or other prompts naturally
...
You may pass pty=False to forego creation of a pseudo-terminal on
the remote end in case the presence of one causes problems for the
command in question.
