i'm nearly sure there is a way you could (you might want to change a 
few lines in the login function, around line 219ff in pyssh.py),
but:
    ==> that's not the way i would pursue!

the good way, imho, would be to establish a trusted user (exchange of 
key/certificate) in order to get away with no login prompt at all (yes, 
ssh is very usable).

sorry, i don't know - never used it.
