linux - Running process of remote SSH server in the background using Python Paramiko

I am finding hard to run a process on a remote SSH server at background using Paramiko. I used :

stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('executefile.py &') 

and found that no process of executefile.py was found running.

Then I tried using other way as including a backward slash:

stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('executefile.py &') 

This method worked. There was an instance running on machine but no surprise, it was not running at background. I could come to know as it is not running at background as when code stuck at second line after this code. It was

all_inf = stdout.readlines()

Now code was not going beyond above line unless the process of the script was killed.

I am learning Paramiko, any help is appreciated.

I've tried all the methods described here and here without success, and finally realized that you need to use channels instead of using the SSHClient directly for calling exec_command (this does not work in background):

client = paramiko.SSHClient()
client.connect(ip_address, username='root', pkey=paramiko_key, timeout=5)
client.exec_command('python script.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &')

You should create and use a channel, this works in background:

client = paramiko.SSHClient()
client.connect(ip_address, username='root', pkey=paramiko_key, timeout=5)
transport = client.get_transport()
channel = transport.open_session()
channel.exec_command('python script.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &')

So nohup, dtach, screen, etc, are actually not necessary.
