This is a little script that gets the CPU Utilization metric from a remote Windows machine. On multi-way or multi-core machines, it will return an average of all processors/cores.
To run this, you will first need to install the WMI module. Follow the instructions and get the download from here: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html
import wmi
def get_cpu(computer, user, password):
c = wmi.WMI(find_classes=False, computer=computer, user=user, password=password)
utilizations = [cpu.LoadPercentage for cpu in c.Win32_Processor()]
utilization = int(sum(utilizations) / len(utilizations))
return utilization

You could do something like c.Win32_Processor(Name='_Total')[0].LoadPercentage to get it in one go.
Actually, you might want to double check that you're not indluding the total as a CPU in your list. I think it might be, but then it won't be changing the average I guess...
Just in case you don't know you can also query WMI from Linux with wmic (Which is in fact a python importable module) I write a wrapper around it, but I didn't know it at the time so my code uses subprocess to call it...
In case it's of any interest:

Hi Felim,
You say wmic is importable by python? But how? I can get /usr/bin/wmic and /usr/bin/winexe when installing wmi-client.
How do we run this script?
