pylibssh2 1.0.0
================
1.0.0 release, X may 2010
What
----
pylibssh2 is a python binding for libssh2 library, it was forked and rewrote
from scratch using old org.keyphrene (http://sourceforge.net/projects/orgkeyphrene/)
bindings.
I wrote this extension at Wallix (http://wallix.com) to provide an easy
way to manage SSH2 connection through libssh2 library in python.
This is a C extension module to provide a high level python API. libssh2 API is
fairy well respected and export into a python API.
Packaging and API is documented with epydoc format.
