Hi,

I am coding a small SSH client, I ve got some issues with creating 
pseudo terminal on server side, or at least I suppose that's the problem.
That is the 'ps auxf' run on SSH server:

    root      4317  0.0  0.3  33744   876 ?        Ss   11:36   0:00
    /usr/sbin/sshd
    *### **4525** is the proper connection done with standard ssh
    client   *|
    root      4525  0.3  1.1  53036  2896 ?        Ss   11:37   0:00  \_
    sshd: root at pts/0**
    root      4532  0.0  0.8  15700  2060 pts/0    Ss   11:37   0:00 
    |   \_ -bash
    root      4987  0.0  0.4  12596  1024 pts/0    R+   11:38   0:00 
    |       \_ ps auxf  
    *### ..and 4733 is the connection made with my python script , as
    you can see it is not using PTS *
    root      4733  0.0  1.0  52940  2676 ?        Ss   11:37   0:00  \_
    sshd: pgega [priv]
    pgega     4741  0.0  0.6  52940  1600 ?        S    11:37   0:00 
    |   \_ sshd: pgega
    root      4745  0.0  0.9  33768  2252 ?        Ss   11:37   0:00  \_
    sshd: [accepted]

Do you see anything worng with my script ? Here is the source code:
