Running a Python script on the client side from the server side

I have designed a website using Flask (Python 2.7). I have sent a Python script (c.py) to the client using the send_file() function.

Now I want to run c.py on the client system from the server side maybe by using my website itself or my system. Is there a possible way to do that?

Note: Client and server are on the same network.

Is it possible to write a python script which can run another python script on another system?

exec("input the content of your py file"), which supports dynamic execution of Python code.

A demo here: Suppose that you could run Python script on client side

=== Server Side ===

from flask import Flask, send_file
import StringIO

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    sio = StringIO.StringIO()
    sio.write('print("hello world")')
    sio.seek(0)
    return send_file(sio, attachment_filename="c.py")

app.run(debug=True)

=== Client Side ===

import requests

code = requests.get('http://localhost:5000').text
exec(code)  # <-----
