[Pyssh-discuss] pyssh on Mac OS X

[Bijoy T. <bij...@gm...>]

Hi,

  Has anyone tried using pyssh on Mac OS X? I installed it and gave it
a trial run but encountered an error for a missing "/proc" (which OS X
doesnt have). I editied the attach_agent() method to return without
calling fssa.fssa(key) in the hope that I could manually enter the
passwd.

My test code is

from pyssh import *
testcon = Ssh('thomas', 'mongo.cebatech.com', '22')
testcon.set_debuglevel(1)
testcon.set_sshpath(SSH_PATH)
testcon.login()
print testcon.sendcmd('date')
testcon.close()

Running this simply hangs after printing a debug line
"Running /usr/bin/ssh -p 22 th...@mo...."
I hit Ctrl-C Keyboard Interrupt to kill it and have pasted the traceback.

$python ssh.py
>> Running /usr/bin/ssh -p 22 th...@mo....
^C>> ssh pid is 2808.
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "ssh.py", line 6, in <module>

line 254, in login
    print ">> 1st banner read is: %s" % banner
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyssh/__init__.py",
line 236, in read_some
    return self.sshout.read_very_lazy()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyssh/nbpipe.py",
line 110, in read_some
    data += self.read_lazy(maxblocks - 1, timeout)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyssh/nbpipe.py",
line 98, in read_lazy
    time.sleep(MIN_TIMEOUT)
KeyboardInterrupt
>> Sending

>> 1 characters taken
>> Sending ~.
>> 2 characters taken
^C
$

Am I doing something wrong or is this something to do with OS X? The
README mentions that time.sleep() has issues. Perhaps something to do
with that?

Thanks,
Bijoy.
