+Paramiko is a Python (2.6+, 3.3+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol [#]_,
providing both client and server functionality. While it leverages a Python C
extension for low level cryptography (`PyCrypto <http://pycrypto.org>`_),
Paramiko itself is a pure Python interface around SSH networking concepts.

-Possible gotcha on older Python and/or pip versions
----------------------------------------------------
-
-We strongly recommend using ``pip`` to as it is newer and generally better than
-``easy_install``. However, a combination of bugs in specific (now rather old)
-versions of Python, ``pip`` and PyCrypto can prevent installation of PyCrypto.
-Specifically:
-
-* Python = 2.5.x
-* PyCrypto >= 2.1 (required for most modern versions of Paramiko)
-* ``pip`` < 0.8.1
-
-When all three criteria are met, you may encounter ``No such file or
-directory`` IOErrors when trying to ``pip install paramiko`` or ``pip install
-PyCrypto``.
-
-The fix is to make sure at least one of the above criteria is not met, by doing
-the following (in order of preference):
-
-* Upgrade to ``pip`` 0.8.1 or above, e.g. by running ``pip install -U pip``.
-* Upgrade to Python 2.6 or above.
-* Downgrade to Paramiko 1.7.6 or 1.7.7, which do not require PyCrypto >= 2.1,
- and install PyCrypto 2.0.1 (the oldest version on PyPI which works with
- Paramiko 1.7.6/1.7.7)
