[execnet-dev] Urgent question about ssh with username/password

[Prasanna Mulgaonkar]

I know that this is not a recommended approach, but in one particular 
customer we are working with, only username/password based ssh logins 
are permitted. How do I open an execnet gateway and pass a password to 
the ssh call?

For example make_gateway("ssh=testuser at ipaddress") prompts on the python 
console if I run this in an interactive python shell. I want to run it 
non interactively. How do I specify the password.

Replacing ssh= with sshpass= does not work.

Thanks
