Library for writing distributed self-replicating programs

 Mitogen is a Python library for writing distributed self-replicating programs.
 .
 There is no requirement for installing packages, copying files around, writing
 shell snippets, upfront configuration, or providing any secondary link to a
 remote machine aside from an SSH connection. Due to its origins for use in
 managing potentially damaged infrastructure, the remote machine need not even
 have free disk space or a writeable filesystem.
