Hi Aditya: Thanks for the info about easy_install. Sriphani had suggested downloading the packages and running the command 'python setup.py install' For the commands to work, python-devel package is required. So I installed the devel RPM package using YaST and then the rest of the python modules. Dig'd a little deeper and found that paramiko and pycryto are essential crypto and ssh2 lib for python. Hopefully they will include that in python packge so that the slogan 'batteries included' continue to be true. I'm a python newbie and had never had the need to install or use python until I got to bzr. Thanks to you and Sriphani for the assistance. thanks Saifi.
