I have the same situation: there is a need to run commands with sudo. Right now I solved this by changing /etc/sudoers file to not ask password for specific user. One possible solution could be to integrate paramiko with pexpect/fdexpect module( http://www.noah.org/wiki/Pexpect#experimental_extensions ). I didn't try it myself, but it is definitely the direction you can look at. -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ paramiko mailing list paramiko@lag.net http://www.lag.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/paramiko
