Many years ago we ran an ssh executable on Windows; it was a tiny
standalone kit consisting, IIRC, of the Cygwin libc and ssh. Or you
could just install Cygwin...
That would let you use Python's subprocess module to invoke ssh and
dispatch your command.
On all my work PCs cygwin is installed.
However when packaging something with py2exe I'd really prefer to not
have to install additional .exe / .dll files just for the ssh client.
This is why I like the idea of Paramiko. which requires the crypto .dll,
but that's it.
The only thing I'm concerned about paramiko is, that I don't see any
activity on the paramiko site and that one library it depends on is not
available is windows binary package for newer versions of python.
For the time being I stick with paramiko as I'm still on py2.6, but I
wanted to have some feedback, whether this path can easily be followed
in the mid term future or whther I ahd to fall back to a minimalist set
of ssh executables / dlls and a subprocess wrapper.
