EOF

Your python script wants to read from its stdin.

It obtains its stdin from ssh.

ssh has been set so that its stdin is the heredoc (EOF..EOF).

So python attempts to read from the heredoc but there is nothing to read.

Pass the python command as arguments to ssh instead, so that ssh's stdin is still the tty:

ssh [email protected] '
    python script.py --user username --password pwrd --option xyzlmn
'
