title: Is there a way in python to use os.path operations for an OS that is not your current?
body: <p>The situation:  I am currently using paramiko to do some fancy sftp stuff and often find myself compiling path names for remote files.  I think that there might be a more intelligent way of doing this.
  The question:
  Is there a way in python to use os.path operations for an OS that is not your current os?
  I would like to ultimatly be able to go remotehost.os.path."some operation"</p>
