First, the low-level paramiko (http://www.lag.net/paramiko/) which handles all the basic ssh connection stuff. Next, fabric (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/), which layers a very easy to use application layer on top of paramiko. Fabric is most commonly used in conjunction with a near command-line driver tool called fab, but you can also work directly with the library layer (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/usage/library.html). Fabric rocks. Don't waste your time with anything else (but see the next paragraph). As far as I know, fabric only works with ssh. If you are forced to use telnet to talk to legacy equipment, that's another problem. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
