could you try
shell = client.invoke_shell(term='vt100', width=80, height=24)

i.e. 'vt100' instead of 'xterm'.

Then just after that could you try reading with

print shell.recv(1)

until there is nothing to be read. Just after you request a shell
you should get output from it BEFORE sending anything just as
you do when you login into any system with a login shell.

If you do not read this first output
your pty input  may be stalled because
you did not read enough  output from it first.

You can do this in an interactive python shell in order to experiment
more easily.

Sure you will.
