At work we usually create ssh tunnels forwarding ports. The way we do that is, by using the standard command ssh -L port:addr:port addr with subprocess running in a separate thread. I found this useful link: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/blob/master/demos/forward.py with an example of doing port forwarding with paramiko.
