Remotely run python script consisting of multiple files via ssh

I want to run a python script remotely via ssh. For a single script this would be something like this:

ssh user@machine python test.py

If my python program consists of multiple files, I'm out of luck with this. As Python can execute zip-files, I created one and it runs perfectly on my local system:

python test.zip

Over ssh:

ssh user@machine python < test.zip

I got the error message "SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with...". Both files in the archive start with "-- coding: utf-8 --".

What do I have to do to make this work?

do you expect test.zip to be on the local machine or on the remote machine?

test.zip is on the local machine. I don't want to modify the remote machine by copying the .zip first but execute it directly.

I found this question on stackoverflow which is basically the same problem - but has no solution: stackoverflow.com/questions/20276105/…

The basic problem with

ssh user@machine python < test.zip

is that test.zip is sent to ssh instead of python.

The solution in stack-overflow might work, if you'll implement the python-script mentioned there (copied below):

#!/usr/bin/python 



import sys

import os

import zipfile

import StringIO

import zipimport

import time



sys.path.append('/tmp')



class SinEater(object):

    def __init__(self):

        tmp = str(int(time.time()*100)) + '.zip'

        f = open(tmp, 'w')

        f.write(sys.stdin.read(1024*64)) # 64kb limit

        f.close()

        try:

            z = zipimport.zipimporter(tmp)

            z.load_module('foo')



        except:

            pass



if __name__ == '__main__':

    print 'herp derp'

    s = SinEater()

Save it as zip_parse_script.py on the remote machine and will execute your command using

test.zip | ssh user@machine python /path_to_python_script/zip_parse_script.py
