Connect to SSH using Python

Good Night,

If you want to execute commands in console using python you can use the pexpect library. You can get it in http://sourceforge.net/projects/pexpect/. To install it use:

$ sudo python setup.py install

After install it, you can have fun. I did a small script to test it.

[code lang=”python”]import pexpect

class SSH():
def connect(self):
x = True
sshConnection = pexpect.spawn(‘ssh -l matheus -p 22 192.168.0.254’)
sshConnection.expect(‘[email protected]\’s password:’)
sshConnection.sendline(‘password’)
while True:
print sshConnection.readline();
if x is True:
sshConnection.sendline(‘uptime’)
x = False
sshConnection.readline();

s = SSH()
s.connect()[/code]

If you have any problem try to use:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
