Features

The library uses Cython based native code extensions as wrappers to libssh.

  • Thread safe - GIL released as much as possible

    • libssh threading limitations apply - anything not supported in C is not supported in Python

  • Very low overhead thin wrapper

  • Object oriented

    • Memory freed automatically and safely as objects are garbage collected by Python

  • Uses Python semantics where applicable

    • channel/file handle context manager support

    • channel/file handle iterator support

  • Raises low level C errors as Python exceptions
