russhy

An SSH library for Python; written in Rust.

This is a fork or russh

About

russhy is an easy-to-use SSH library for Python, written in Rust using PyO3.

This library aims to be as similar to paramiko as possible (for ease of use and familiarity), while also adding some opiniated features/improvements. Currently, this library supports the SSHv2 protocol by leveraging libssh2 (using the ssh2 crate).

This library does not aim to replace paramiko, or any other Python SSH library. Rather, it's just a proof-of-concept to test the viability of a Python library written in Rust.

Note

This library doesn't ship windows wheels, you should compile them yourself if you want to use it

Features
