Perhaps Riaan could have a look at PySSH 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyssh).  This makes it relatively easy to 
send a number of commands over a single SSH session, and view (from within 
Python) the output.

It is still Beta, but should work well with ssh on Linux and on Windows using 
Cygwin.  It does support Putty on Windows, but that is still Alpha, although 
its main shortcoming is in forcing the SSH session to close.

I am the current maintainer (took over in August this year), and if there is 
interest and feedback I'd be fairly likely to put in the work to get the 
Putty integration up to the desired level.  OTOH, in my experience ssh under 
cygwin is more powerful than putty for command line usage, and in this case 
pyssh should work well.

By the way, Boa rocks big time.  I used it while writing pyssh 0.2.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
