Welcome to Paramiko!

Paramiko is a Python (2.7, 3.4+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol 1, providing both client and server functionality. While it leverages a Python C extension for low level cryptography (Cryptography), Paramiko itself is a pure Python interface around SSH networking concepts.

This website covers project information for Paramiko such as the changelog, contribution guidelines, development roadmap, news/blog, and so forth. Detailed usage and API documentation can be found at our code documentation site, http://liddd.www888.org/documentation/paramiko/docs/.

Footnotes

[1] SSH is defined in RFC 4251, RFC 4252, RFC 4253 and RFC 4254. The primary working implementation of the protocol is the OpenSSH project. Paramiko implements a large portion of the SSH feature set, but there are occasional gaps.
