Hi all,

Could anyone point me in the right direction for a package that provides the 'interactive' module for Python? I need to do some SSH stuff in Python so I grabbed python-paramiko from RPMForge (as always, thanks Dag & co.). Paramiko appears to be dependent on python-crypto but the RPM doesn't require it..

[wmcdonald@willspc ssh]$ ./demo.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./demo.py", line 33, in ? import paramiko File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/paramiko/__init__.py", line 69, in ? from transport import randpool, SecurityOptions, Transport File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/paramiko/transport.py", line 32, in ? from paramiko import util File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/paramiko/util.py", line 31, in ? from paramiko.common import * File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/paramiko/common.py", line 99, in ? from Crypto.Util.randpool import PersistentRandomPool, RandomPool ImportError: No module named Crypto.Util.randpool

So I've grabbed python-crypto from RPMForge too and now I appear to need python-interactive or similar...

[wmcdonald@willspc ssh]$ ./demo.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "./demo.py", line 34, in ? import interactive ImportError: No module named interactive

The import causing the problem is...

import paramiko import interactive

And the code snippet where interactive is used is...

chan = t.open_session() chan.get_pty() chan.invoke_shell() print '*** Here we go!' print interactive.interactive_shell(chan) chan.close() t.close()

I've Googled a bit but "python", "module" and "interactive" generally return about a million results all relating to alternative interpreter/CLIs.

This is all vanilla setup other than the RPMForge bits.

[wmcdonald@willspc ssh]$ rpm -q python python-2.3.4-14.2 [wmcdonald@willspc ssh]$ rpm -q python-paramiko python-crypto python-paramiko-1.6.3-1.el4.rf python-crypto-2.0-1.2.el4.rf

Will.
