Conversion of .bat file to open and load putty session into Python

Question

I have a .bat file which takes some arguments and connect to putty using python. Below is code for reference.

pushd c:
start /min Putty.exe -load SessionName -l UserName -pw Password

I am calling putty1.bat file in python using os.system as mentioned below:

os.system('putty1.bat')

I have seen some reference related to subprocess but it's not helping me out how to pass above mentioned parameters.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Plink which is a command line application. here more info

import subprocess

sp = subprocess.Popen(['plink', '-ssh', '-l', 'username', '-pw', 'password', 'SessionName'], \
                     shell = False, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
sp.communicate('lmstat -a\nexit\n'.encode())

OR try with paramiko

import paramiko
import socket


class Point:
    def __init__(self,host,username,password,port):
        self.host = host
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.port = port

    def connect(self):
        """Login to the remote server"""

        print("Establishing ssh connection")
        self.client = paramiko.SSHClient()
        self.client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
        # Connect to the server
        self.client.connect(hostname=self.host, port=self.port, username=self.username, password=self.password,
                                timeout=1000, allow_agent=False, look_for_keys=False)
        print("Connected to the server", self.host)
