Interative shell paramiko how to read input like the exec_command

When using paramiko exec_command without the interactive shell, it's really easy to get the output.

However I need to use the interactive shell and it seems a pain to read the output of a single command. I couldn't find a demo or any example of this.

I tried using something like : Implement an interactive shell over ssh in Python using Paramiko?

But it's in really bad shape.

After using the solution given in the link, what do you mean by "it's in really bad shape"?

The output had some unnecessary characters so I removed them, please see the edited solution.

You don't have to use paramiko for it.

Just use paramiko to open passwordless ssh connection and then implement your method, using subporcess module.

For example:

def run_shell_remote_command(remote_host, remote_cmd):
        p = subprocess.Popen(['ssh', '-nx', remote_host, remote_cmd], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                             stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
        if p.returncode != 0:
            raise RuntimeError("%r failed, status code %s stdout %r stderr %r" % (
                remote_cmd, p.returncode, stdout, stderr))
        return stdout.strip()  # This is the stdout from the shell command
