Hi Holger I have produced a minimal reproduction for my one remaining issue.
To reproduce put the following into a file and run it with py.test import py a = None def test_function(): global a a = py.execnet.SshGateway("localhost").remote_exec("pass") As before the problem only reproduces on my test machine not on my development machine. On my test machine it produces: Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'CHANNEL_CLOSE'" in <bound method Channel.__del__ of <Channel id=1 open>> ignored Additionally it only reproduces inside py.test. Now that I know what it is it can be trivially fixed by del'ing the global variable at the end of the test. I am however curious about the difference in behavior on the two machines and I would also like to know if you consider this a problem or if it is just that pushing a channel into the global namespace is a bad idea. It is probably worth noting that in the full system what I pushed into the global namespace wasn't a channel but a utility class that happened to have a reference to a channel, so it wasn't quite as braindead as it looks.
