Python Fabric run command returns “binascii.Error: Incorrect padding”

Question

I\'m trying to connect to connect to amazon EC2 via fabric using the script below. But I\'m met with a problem that I\'m not sure how to solve it.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and tracked it down to some corruption in my .ssh/known_hosts file.

I thus added to my .bashrc

alias deploy='mv ~/.ssh/known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts.tmp; fab ; mv ~/.ssh/known_hosts.old ~/.ssh/known_hosts'

(obviously putting the right fabric script where is) and now all works fine when I simply run "deploy"!
