client = paramiko.SSHClient()
stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(command)

Is there any way to get the command return code?

It's hard to parse all stdout/stderr and know whether the command finished successfully or not.

paramiko ssh python

In my case, output buffering was the problem. Because of buffering, the outputs from the application doesn't come out non-blocking way. You can find the answer about how to print output without buffering in here: Disable output buffering. For short, just run python with -u option like this:

> python -u script.py
