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

Aucun fichier source ni test n’est indiqué. Commencez par examiner la NetLogo Python extension et la configuration liée de PyCharm WSL remote-interpreter, en vous concentrant sur la communication SSH avec un hôte WSL. Le travail sera considéré comme terminé lorsque du code Python pourra s’exécuter via le remote interpreter et que des valeurs pourront être renvoyées à NetLogo.
