I attempted doing this initially. Everything is very doable except SSH. One would have to rely on third-party libraries to do this well.

Are you open to a single dependency [0]? Entirely native tooling is an admirable thing that I greatly appreciate, but parsing subprocess output is fraught with issues (I know, I've done this as well).

I’ve used paramiko for this also: https://www.paramiko.org/.
