connect() got an unexpected keyword argument 'sock'

Hi,
I'm not really sure if that's an issue of parallel-ssh, but if I try to execute a simple example. I get the following error

aceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gevent/greenlet.py", line 390, in run

I've tried to find a solution for this issue but had no luck so far. On a StackOverflow thread somebody refers this to an issue of multiple installed ssh libraries.

Do you have any ideas what might actually cause this issue?

TIA!

Hi there @mfrey, thanks for the interest.

The error is coming from the paramiko SSH library that parallel-ssh uses - it is most likely a too old version without the socket functionality.

What is your installed paramiko version and how did you install paramiko? Via setup.py/requirements.txt or other?
