ssh in python

programming

I needed to write some code that involves ssh, and like always, I took the time to research the state of ssh in the python kingdom before writing code.

what did I find?

  • there are two main packages that handle ssh in python: paramiko and conch (twisted)
  • there’s a cool package that mocks ssh connections, called MockSSH.
  • there’s a super awesome utility/package/you-name-it that creates an ssh honeypot in python, called kippo.
