FTP libs for Python?

[Thomas Allen]

I'm interested in writing a script to ease deployment of minor changes
on some websites here, and it would involve some SFTP transfers. Do
you know of good alternatives to ftplib, which is relatively low-
level?

Why don't you just use Curl? It does a dozen of protocols including
SFTP. And if the command line version is not enough for you then there
are Python bindings for Curl.

I use Fabric (http://www.nongnu.org/fab/) as my Python-based
deployment tool, but it uses ssh/scp, not sftp.

I'm actually hoping to eventually package these tools using py2exe for
some co-workers, which is why I'm not looking to Unix utilities

I'm looking at Paramiko right now which I saw some people
recommending, as SSH utils are required as well....

curl works on Windows too.
