[paramiko] Patch for SFTPClient to include "longname" in the file attributes

[Wesley Augur]

I'm using paramiko as an SFTP client and am trying to access the
owning user/group names (not IDs) for files. From what I can tell of
the SFTP protocol v3, only the uid/gid is available in the file
attributes, but according to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-02#section-7 the
user/group names are suggested to be included in the SSH_FXP_NAME
longname field.

SFTPClient.listdir_attr() currently ignores the longname field, would
it be possible to have the field added to the SFTPAttributes? I
attached a trivial patch which stores the longname field in the file
attributes.

Thanks for paramiko, it's incredibly useful!
