I could not find it on PyPi and I failed to find any information about how to contribute to the project... I did sent an email to the author. I could not find a suite of automated tests. I hope that asyncssh is willing to compete with Twisted Conch SSH and improve on this :) I only looked quickly over the server examples but I am a bit worried about the SSH key auth example and how SSH key validation is done .. or not done. I prefer Conch API. For example I don't know what to say about asyncssh begin_auth() method, which when it returns True, it cause the authentication to be skipped... I would prefer a name like should_ignore_authentication... or something which describes better why and how it should be used. http://asyncssh.timeheart.net/api.html#asyncssh.SSHServer.begin_auth Conch source code is very readable (for it's size and age) and I manage to put it into use just by reading the code and docstrings/API docs. I started to learn Conch with examples from Stack Overflow and I remember that Jean-Paul was very active there.... so mabye conch documentation can be improved by importing some of those examples. Contributing to Twisted is a PITA so I guess that for some people (companies) this is a good reason to start a new (single protocol targeted) project.( ex Tornado). At this stage, asyncssh does not have a better public development process. Cheers, -- Adi Roiban
