Paramiko Question

[Jacob Abraham]

Hi All,

      I need help with the below mentioned script. The second time I
call a.execute, self.transport.open_session() fails with an EOF error.
Is this a paramiko bug or am I doing something wrong?


import paramiko

class Connection(object):
    def __init__(self, host, username = None, password = None,
private_key = None, \
                 port = 22):
        self.transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))
        self.live = True
        self.transport.connect(username = username, password = password)

    def execute(self, command):
        channel = self.transport.open_session()
        channel.exec_command(command)
        output = channel.makefile('rb', -1).readlines()
        if output:
            print output
        else:
            print channel.makefile_stderr('rb', -1).readlines()

    def close(self):
        if self.live:
            self.transport.close()
            self.live = False

    def __del__(self):
        self.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    a= Connection('ip_or_hostname', 'root', '')
    print a.execute('version')
    print a.execute('version')
    print a.execute('version')
    a.close()
