Support linux remote cmd execution from Windows

I tried the ssh pure backend and paramiko backend, neither of them can be launched from the Windows PC. So does testinfra support this approach? I think the support would be very nice for someone using a Windows PC to develop scripts for linux servers . So I wish it happen.

Error details: The error message is as follows:
