SSH connection with python

Question

I'd like to make a python script that connect with an SSH server, but as I can't send password as an argv, how could I do that?

os.system("user@server password")

And if it fails, what would be the return?

You should probably looking into doing this with a library or wrapper to make this work out properly and with more support. Here are some examples.

You can use some 3rd libraries like fabric or Paramiko

Use Paramiko:

client = paramiko.SSHClient()
client.connect('my.example.com', username='brandon', password=mypass)
