Not really. I recently took over as maintainer, and even more recently
found the documentation...

I don't know. I haven't played much with Jython. But I'm game, if you
are ;)

It's just a wrapper around the ssh binaries. I've stumbled on Twisted's
conch (www.twistedmatrix.com) and that appears to be a Python
implementation of the SSH prototcol, but I haven't dug very deep.

Registry? Your on Windows? If so, you may be in trouble... From what
I've read, pyssh was written on *NIX for *NIX but again, I'm willing to
work on it. Since it's a wrapper, it would require a CLI Windows ssh
binary. What do you use for ssh now?

getpass and signal are standard python modules, however I'm not sure if
signal is cross-platform. I'm Windows ignorant (by choice), but I think
signal is a POSIX feature. There may be a signal for Windows; I don't
know. I'll look when I get to a Windows box.

What? For _more_ not useful information ;) I'm interested in supporting
Jython, because I may have a future use for it anyway. I'd like to
support Windows, so if you are using Windows, then I'd appreciate any
suggestions/advice/testing you can provide.
