Welcome to Paramiko! ==================== 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. This website covers project information for Paramiko such as the changelog, contribution guidelines, development roadmap, news/blog, and so forth.

[#] SSH is defined in RFCs `4251 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4251.txt>`_, `4252 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4252.txt>`_, `4253 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4253.txt>`_, and `4254 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt>`_; the primary working implementation of the protocol is the `OpenSSH project <http://openssh.org>`_. Paramiko implements a large portion of the SSH feature set, but there are occasional gaps.
