Subject: bug#50057: 27.2; Issue evaluating Python code across machines

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Suppose the current buffer is editing a local file and you would like to
evaluate some code on a Python inferior running in a remote machine.
The following should work:

(let ((default-directory "/ssh:some-remote-machine:/"))
  (run-python))

(python-shell-send-string "5+5")

(python-shell-send-string "(5\n+5)")

The first python-shell-send-string call indeed works.  The second one
produces an error, because a temporary file is created in the local
machine instead of the remote one.  The same kind of error happens if
one tries to evaluate the region on the entire buffer.

I've attached a small patch to fix this.

* python.el (python-shell-send-string): Ensure that the temporary file
is created in the host running the Python process.
