I am trying to use plink as an ssh alternative on windows, but I am finding that when plink connects to a remote linux machine, it does not source .bash_profile or .bashrc.
Is there a different dot file I should create? Or is there another option?

For example, my bashrc file adds a directory to my path. This directory contains extra programs that I want to use, one being python.

This will not work:

plink host python

Where as this will:

plink host "source .bashrc;python"

When I use plink without a command parameter, it sources .bash_profile and everything works fine, but it appear that by merely sending a command plink will not source either file.

Is there a workaround?

windows linux ssh plink
