Generally speaking, what tools would I use to do this? Is there a built-in
module for it? I looked at the telnetlib module, but the documentation
wasn't really complete enough for me to get a good idea of it. Is Telnet and
SSH even the same thing?
Basically, I want to write a script that will automate the process of making
all .py files on my web server executable (chmod 755, or something similar).
Thanks.

There's paramiko (q.g.). I can't personally vouch for it, but it seems
popular... It seems to depend on a separate crypto library.

No. They're very different.

I've had a very nice experience using the 3rd-party package "paramiko" for
ssh communication. There's nothing in the standard library that I know of.
I looked at the telnetlib module, but the documentation

Telnet is not the same protocol. SSH is an encrypted transport, telnet is
not.

making all .py files on my web server executable (chmod 755, or something
similar).
Be careful, this procedure sounds potential risky, security-wise ;-)

I guess a blanket process might be a tad risky, but don't you want all CGI
files to be executable by all?

In shell scripts I use expect to automate ssh stuff, so I would
probably give pyexpect or pexpect a try: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pexpect/

Not even close.

Typically, I prefer CGI scripts to be executable only the owner. If the web
server runs those scripts as a different user, then that user must also be
permitted to execute the scripts of course.
Also note that "all .py files on my web server" is not necessarily
restricted to CGI scripts -- and therein lies the real gist of my
cautionary note.

Yeah, I realized that afterwards. Good point. I was assuming all my
executable files would be CGI, but that's not a good assumption to make! :)

You can execute ssh using os.system(). Look at http://love-python.blogspot.com/2008...in-python.html
If you want non-interactive ssh (so that your script doesn't need to
enter password), look at: http://speed-dev.blogspot.com/2008/0...-in-linux.html

Subeen.
Alson you can take a look at pexpect module if you want to automate
logging in and process commands , in this way you will no longer wait
for loginname and password prompt.

Introduction
Uploading files from a local computer to a remote web server has many useful purposes, the most obvious of which is the sharing of files. For example, you upload images to a server to share them with other people over the Internet. Perl comes ready equipped for uploading files via the CGI.pm module, which has long been a core module and allows users...

Can we open up the discussion here about how to improve setuptools

From my perspective, the relative immaturity of setuptools and its

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
