Further analysis of the maintenance status of ssh2-python based on released PyPI versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.

An important project maintenance signal to consider for ssh2-python is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to PyPI in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.

In the past month we didn't find any pull request activity or change in issues status has been detected for the GitHub repository.

Readme

ssh2-python

Super fast SSH2 protocol library. ssh2-python provides Python bindings for libssh2.

Installation

Binary wheel packages are provided for Linux, OSX and Windows, all Python versions. Wheel packages have no dependencies.

pip may need to be updated to be able to install binary wheel packages

pip install -U pip.

pip install ssh2-python

For from source installation instructions, including building against system provided libssh2, see documentation.

Who Should Use This

Most developers will want to use the high level clients in parallel-ssh based on this library.

This library provides bindings to the low-level libssh2 C-API. It is not high level, nor easy to use. A lot of code would need to be written to use this library that is already provided by parallel-ssh.

Use parallel-ssh unless really sure using a C-API is what is wanted.

API Feature Set

At this time all of the libssh2 API has been implemented up to the libssh2 version in the repository. Please report any missing implementation.

Complete example scripts for various operations can be found in the examples directory.

In addition, as ssh2-python is a thin wrapper of libssh2 with Python semantics, its code examples can be ported straight over to Python with only minimal changes.

Examples

See examples directory for complete examples.

Again, most developers will want to use parallel-ssh rather than this library directly.

Comparison with other Python SSH libraries

Performance of above example, compared with Paramiko.
