I am not writing in shell nor am I escaping to the shell locally for execution

someprog.py is a paramiko-based wrapper that executes the given command
on many machines remotely.  I (over) simplified the example and in my

   someprog.py "uname && sudo cat /etc/sudoers"

  vs.

   someprog.py 'uname && echo "sudo cat /etc/suoders"'
