Welcome to Paramiko!
====================
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.
This website covers project information for Paramiko such as the changelog,

SSH is defined in RFCs
`4251 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4251.txt>`_,
`4252 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4252.txt>`_,
`4253 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4253.txt>`_, and
`4254 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt>`_;
the primary working implementation of the protocol is the `OpenSSH project
<http://openssh.org>`_. Paramiko implements a large portion of the SSH
feature set, but there are occasional gaps.
