Installation

Binary wheels are provided for Linux (manylinux 2014, x86_64 and aarch64), OSX (12, 13 and 14 for brew Python), and Windows 64-bit (Python 3.7+).

Wheels have no dependencies.

For building from source, see documentation.

pip install ssh-python

Pip may need to be updated to be able to install binary wheels.

pip install -U pip
pip install ssh-python

Quick Start

See command execution script for complete example.

Features

The library uses Cython based native code extensions as wrappers to libssh.

  • Thread safe - GIL released as much as possible

    • libssh threading limitations apply - anything not supported in C is not supported in Python

  • Very low overhead thin wrapper

  • Object oriented

    • Memory freed automatically and safely as objects are garbage collected by Python

  • Uses Python semantics where applicable

    • channel/file handle context manager support

    • channel/file handle iterator support

  • Raises low level C errors as Python exceptions
