Changelog:

1.14.0 2014-05-07

    [Support] #284: Add Python language trove identifiers to setup.py. Thanks to Alex Gaynor for catch & patch.
    [Support] #290: (also #292) Add support for building universal (Python 2+3 compatible) wheel files during the release process. Courtesy of Alex Gaynor.
    [Support] #295: Swap out a bunch of PyCrypto hash functions with use of hashlib. Thanks to Alex Gaynor.
    [Support] #297: Replace PyCrypto’s Random with os.urandom for improved speed and security. Thanks again to Alex.
    [Support] #299: Use deterministic signatures for ECDSA keys for improved security. Thanks to Alex Gaynor.

1.13.0 2014-03-13

    [Feature] #58: Allow client code to access the stored SSH server banner via Transport.get_banner. Thanks to @Jhoanor for the patch.

    [Support] #256: Convert API documentation to Sphinx, yielding a new API docs website to replace the old Epydoc one. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the initial conversion work.

    [Feature] #16: Python 3 support! Our test suite passes under Python 3, and it (& Fabric’s test suite) continues to pass under Python 2. Python 2.5 is no longer supported with this change!



Not very clear if there are API breaks here.

Also paramiko 1.13+ is required for ECDSA keys to work according to https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/67

I just spent an hour trying to figure out why fabric doesn't work on a new host, turns out that env.key_filename is silently ignored if it is an ECDSA key.

We're now up to 1.15.1 - Jeffrey what's up?

Sorry, haven't had much time for package maintenance lately.  However, when I try updating to 1.15.1, there are some test failures.  These are from a mockbuild, I get slightly different failures when running from a git checkout.

Hmm the tests that use SFTP can be disabled and then everything works.  Builds submitted for f19+, epel7.  Would it be worth it to update the el5 and el6 packages?

Orion, do you want to take over this package?  You did most of the updates over the past year or so anyway.

python-paramiko-1.15.1-1.el7 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 7.

python-paramiko-1.15.1-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20.

Hi Jeffrey,

I might be able to help with this package if you're busy, I maintain fabric which depends on paramiko and it's from the same upstream.

So, I was *not* particularly suggesting a mass update of all stable branches.  1.15.1 setup.py has:

        'install_requires': [
            'pycrypto >= 2.1, != 2.4',
            'ecdsa >= 0.11',
        ],

Which is definitely not available everywhere, though apparently not enforced during build.  I'm also concerned about any possible backwards incompatible API changes.

I don't want to take over paramiko, but if no one else is interested I suppose I will have to.

The help would certainly be welcome. I'm going to be pretty busy tonight and tomorrow, but I can approve your requests on Sunday.
