Welcome to Paramiko!
====================
Paramiko is a Python (2.5+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol [#]_,
Paramiko is a Python (2.6+, 3.3+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol [#]_,
providing both client and server functionality. While it leverages a Python C
extension for low level cryptography (`PyCrypto <http://pycrypto.org>`_),
Paramiko itself is a pure Python interface around SSH networking concepts.

.. _pycrypto-and-pip:
Possible gotcha on older Python and/or pip versions
---------------------------------------------------
We strongly recommend using ``pip`` to as it is newer and generally better than
``easy_install``. However, a combination of bugs in specific (now rather old)
versions of Python, ``pip`` and PyCrypto can prevent installation of PyCrypto.
Specifically:
* Python = 2.5.x
* PyCrypto >= 2.1 (required for most modern versions of Paramiko)
* ``pip`` < 0.8.1
When all three criteria are met, you may encounter ``No such file or
directory`` IOErrors when trying to ``pip install paramiko`` or ``pip install
PyCrypto``.
The fix is to make sure at least one of the above criteria is not met, by doing
the following (in order of preference):
* Upgrade to ``pip`` 0.8.1 or above, e.g. by running ``pip install -U pip``.
* Upgrade to Python 2.6 or above.
* Downgrade to Paramiko 1.7.6 or 1.7.7, which do not require PyCrypto >= 2.1,
and install PyCrypto 2.0.1 (the oldest version on PyPI which works with
Paramiko 1.7.6/1.7.7)
