Whither paramiko?

[Bryan]

Paramiko is a Python library for SSH (Secure Shell). Over about the
last year, I've grown dependent upon it. Its home page is still easy
to search up, but the links to its mailing list and repository don't
work.

Paramiko depends on PyCrypto, and not so long ago that dependency was
the stated reason why paramiko did not yet play with Python 3. Even
more recently, PyCrypto has gone green on the Python 3 Wall of Shame.

Anyone know recent news on the status of paramiko?

Thanks,
-Bryan

Well, if anybody ports paramiko to use some reasonable SSL bindings
(i.e., m2crypto, python-nss) then I will buy him a cup of tea, coffee or
other beverage of his choice .

You may have already tried this but on the web page ( http://www.lag.net/jaramiko/
)for Jaramiko, the Java port of Paramiko, there's an email address for
the author - maybe you could try that ? The email address quoted is :
robey at lag.net .

What's a bit odd is that, as you mentioned, the repository is
mentioned as being at : http://github.com/robey/paramiko/ but comes up
404. However the user robey (robeypointer at gmail.com) is still on
GitHub (and has been there since 2008) but there's no mention of
anything related to Paramiko on his page.

If you do find anything maybe you could update this thread as I'm just
about to start using the library and I'd like to know a little more
about where it might be going in future.

regards

Richard.

Just another data point . I've just taken a look at the bundled
documention of the 1.7.7.1 release and in there the robeypointer @
gmail.com is cited as being the contact point for the developer .
