The n-liner is:

    import subprocess
    import logging

    import mitogen.utils


    def main(router):
        # http://mitogen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#context-factories
        remote_host = router.ssh(hostname='myvps.mycorp.com')
        root = router.sudo(via=remote_host, username='root', password='god')

        rc = root.call(subprocess.check_call, 'ifconfig lo', shell=True)
        print 'Command return code was:', rc

    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    mitogen.utils.run_with_router(main)

I'm working on a "mitop" example utility that implements a multi-host top replacement, with hierarchical statistical roll-ups, and documenting the implementation of that will be the basis for the Getting Started guide, but it depends on a bunch of stuff I'm not ready to work on (async connect), while there are still critical issues where hangs may still occur due due to an exception, and basic stuff like module preloading being incomplete (currently day 13 of working on that).

It will come eventually, but it will likely encourage many more bug reports than my hands can respond to once it is written, so it is kind of a feature that it is missing right now. :)
