Remote host/interpreter support

Copied from (with more discussion at): https://github.com/qiemem/PythonExtension/issues/3

Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (AKA Windows Subsystem Linux, AKA WSL) is really cool. However, because it is a sub system, Windows cannot access the Python binaries in WSL. And consequently, the NetLogo python extension won't be able to run them.

JetBrain's PyCharm solves this in their Windows GUI version by allowing people to connect to a remote SSH host that is then run on WSL. All code is sent to WSL via SSH, compiled, run, and values returned. It works beautifully and seamlessly.

Do you have any idea how difficult it would be to implement a similar feature in the extension?

Edit: I wouldn't know where to look for their implementation, but here is how to set it all up. Maybe that will give you a sense of how it works behind the scene: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/2016.3/configuring-remote-interpreters-via-wsl.html

Es werden keine Quelldateien oder Tests genannt. Beginne mit der Durchsicht der NetLogo Python extension und der verlinkten PyCharm WSL remote-interpreter setup, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der SSH-Kommunikation mit einem WSL-Host liegt. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Arbeit, wenn Python-Code über den remote interpreter ausgeführt und Werte an NetLogo zurückgegeben werden können.
