[project @ Arch-1:robey@lag.net--2003-public%secsh--dev--1.0--patch-42]
support py22, more or less
add roger binns' patches for supporting python 2.2. i hedged a bit on the
logging stuff and just added some trickery to let logging be stubbed out for
python 2.2. this changed a lot of import statements but i managed to avoid
hacking at any of the existing logging.
socket timeouts are required for the threads to notice when they've been
deactivated. worked around it by using the 'select' module on py22.
also fixed the sftp unit tests to cope with a password-protected private key.
