hostctl

PyPI·Infrastructure

hostctl is a Python package that provides a unified interface for running commands and accessing files on hosts, whether local or remote. It abstracts away protocol differences (such as SSH or local subprocess) so users can write protocol-agnostic automation scripts. It is suitable for developers and system administrators who need consistent remote execution and file handling capabilities.
