An SSH library for Python; written in Rust.
russh is an easy-to-use SSH library for Python, written in Rust using PyO3.
This library aims to be as similar to paramiko as possible (for ease of use and familiarity), while also adding some opiniated features/improvements.
Currently, this library supports the SSHv2 protocol by leveraging libssh2 (using the ssh2 crate).
This library does not aim to replace paramiko, or any other Python SSH library. Rather, it's just a proof-of-concept to test the viability of a Python library written in Rust.
NOTE 1: This library is currently a work-in-progress, and should not be used in production scenarios.
NOTE 2: This library is not related to/affiliated with the russh crate. The similarity in the names of both projects is purely coincidental.
- Supports the SSHv2 protocol.
- Supports SFTP.
- Supports Python 3.7 and above.
- Cross-platform (Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux).
- Simple and easy to use.
- Fast and memory-safe, thanks to the underlying Rust core.
- Extensible and well-documented.
- Stubs are included with proper type-annotations for all symbols.
