Unfortunately, that's true.  As already suggested, the unit tests (in
twisted/test/test_conch.py) and the conch client (in
twisted/scripts/conch.py) are probably worth looking at.  I'd probably start
by looking at doc/examples/sshsimpleclient.py, though.

Or you could come to PyCon, and hassle the Conch developer directly ;)

Your best bet is probably to ask on the Twisted mailing list directly
(twisted-python at twistedmatrix.com).  While some of us hang out on c.l.p, I
don't know that the Conch maintainer does.  For that matter, it might be
worthing checking its archives -- I think someone may have asked this
question before.
