Re: [Pyssh-discuss] won't run for some unknown reason ?!

[Chuck E. <Chu...@St...>]

Julian,

I had problems with pyssh where it would have "winning streaks" where 
it worked fine and "losing streaks" where it didn't. I tried very hard 
to fix the problems, but was not successful.

I ultimately ended up using the non-phrase-protected public/private key 
scheme to avoid the password/passphrase.

You'll either have to do the same, or see if you can fix the code 
yourself (I already tried). You might also check c.l.p. Perhaps someone 
has made progress on this since the last time I asked around.

Good luck,
-Chuck
