Paramiko and Pseudo-tty Allocation

Question

I\'m trying to use Paramiko to connect to a remote host and execute a number of text file substitutions.

i, o, e = client.exec_command(\"perl -p -i -e \'s/         


        

Answer 1

The following code works for me:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import paramiko

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('localhost',username='root',password='secret')
chan = ssh.get_transport().open_session()
chan.get_pty()
chan.exec_command('tty')
print(chan.recv(1024))

This was just assembled from looking at a few examples online... not sure if its the "right" way.
