==================== I have no idea what paramiko is, but the error message suggests an OS rather than Python problem. Can you run paramiko with an earlier version of Python on the same machine as it is currently set up? If so, check (and possibly post) the OSRandomPool class/function in osrandom.py for anything that might be sensitive to 2.5 changes (there were not very many, and just about none should have broken code). tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
