Description
- Create a new zos-uss SDK modeled after the zos-console SDK. We'll need a new folder inside the src dir and new test files in subfolders of the tests dir.
- Investigate 3rd party dependencies for handling SSH connections, such as Paramiko or Fabric. We'll need something similar to the ssh2 package used by the Node.js SDK.
- Add a method to the Python zos-uss SDK for issuing SSH commands. We can model it after the
executeSshmethod in the Node.js SDK, as well as the zos-console Python SDK.- Uss class with constructor that accepts profile object
- Method that takes a Unix command and optionally a cwd (working directory) as arguments

Research direction
Start by reading the existing zos-console SDK under src and its corresponding tests under tests, then compare the Node.js executeSsh method. Investigate Paramiko and Fabric for SSH handling, and add a zos-uss SDK with a profile-based Uss class and command method supporting an optional cwd, with tests for the new behavior.
