I need to perform on my linux 5.3

   ssh [Linux machine red hat 5.3] date

in order to get the date results , during ssh need to answer on the following question

  1. (yes/no)? --> yes
  2. password: --> diana_123

and then I will get the date results

please advice how to do this automated process with python? ( on my Linux I have Python 2.2.3 )

python script should get the IP address number , and perform automatically ssh to 103.116.140.151 and return the date results

example of manual proccess:

  # ssh 103.116.140.151 date
    The authenticity of host '103.116.140.151 (103.116.140.151)' can't be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is ad:7e:df:9b:53:86:9f:98:17:70:2f:58:c2:5b:e2:e7.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
    Warning: Permanently added '103.116.140.151' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
