manual / script ssh difference

Question

I am able to log into a machine using SSH manually and using a Python script. Both succeed in logging in.

From the manual attempt, if I run the script signmes1.py, it works.

From the Python script, if I run the same script using the command

os.system("python signmes1.py")

it does not work, and has the following error. The file it is complaining about definitely exists and loads if I run the script manually. Why would it make any difference if I am using exactly the same command but in a script?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "signmes1.py", line 12, in <module>
    with open("result1.txt", "r") as my_file:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'result1.txt'

The code I use in my script to log in is the following:

import ssh
import os

s = ssh.Connection(host = 'ipaddress', username = 'server1', password = 'xxxx') 

Where ipaddress is the ipaddress, and password is my password. The log in works well as far as I can see, I can copy things over to the remote server and copy them back to the local machine.

Still not sure. Is your code something like this?

import ssh
import os

s = ssh.Connection(host = 'ipaddress', username = 'server1', password = 'xxxx') 
os.system("python signmes1.py")

If yes, things wont run fine for you. If no, please edit the question and paste the full code
