You can use https://github.com/pahaz/sshtunnel

pip install sshtunnel

Code example:

import sshtunnel

with sshtunnel.open(
    (ssh_host, ssh_port),
    ssh_host_key=None,
    ssh_username=ssh_user,
    ssh_password=ssh_password,
    ssh_private_key=None,
    remote_bind_address=(REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_PORT)) as server:

    def do_something(port):
        # Do something with port
        pass

    print("LOCAL PORT:", server.local_bind_port)

    do_something(server.local_bind_port)
