Hi, I'm the new maintainer and .. What?! There's documentation?
Oh, there it is...

Yup, that's what it says, but that's not the way it is :(
I'll add it to my todo list to bring it up-to-date.

pyssh.py went away when pyssh was restructured as a python package. It
didn't really go any where, it just got renamed to __init__.py and
pushed under the pyssh directory. When you "import pyssh", the
__init__.py is what actually gets loaded.
To your question, the way it works now is to instantiate an Ssh object:
import pyssh
session = pyssh.Ssh(username='me', host='remotehost')
session.login()
session.sendcmd("date")
If there's an ssh-agent running for user 'me' (which if omitted,
defaults to the executing user), pyssh will attempt to attach and use
that agent. If this happens, you will _not_ get the password prompt
you're expecting at login(), it will just work. Otherwise, it should do
as you suspect.
HTH!
