[paramiko] migrate from Telnet to SSH

[James Bardin]

Hi Chris,

Take a look in the SSHClient class (download the most recent version 
though).  You don't have to use an interactive shell. The SSHClient 
class also does nice things like handle an ssh-agent if available, and 
try to use your private keys if they're not encrypted.

A *real* basic example:

############################
import paramiko

client = paramiko.SSHClient()

# ignore host keys for the test
client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.MissingHostKeyPolicy())

client.connect('hostname', 22, 'username', 'Passw0rd')

(stdin, stdout, stderr) = client.exec_command('command')
print stdout.read()
############################
