I tried that but it doesn't seem to work.  I must be doing something wrong.
I uncompressed TwistedSumo-2005-11-06.tar.bz2 to /tmp.
Export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/TwistedSumo-2005-11-06
cd /tmp/TwistedSumo-2005-11-06/TwistedConch-0.6.0/doc/examples ; python 
sshsimpleclient.py

It does not work :(  I got an error saying SimpleUserAuth instance has 
no attribute 'llastPublicKey'.  I edited thd script to not worry about 
the lastPublicKey and at least it runs.  I get the hostkey printed but 
that's it.  It does not ask me for a password or anything.

The same thing happens if I don't export the PYTHONPATH which makes me 
think I haven't done it correctly.  I even tried setting PYTHONPATH to 
each of the subdirectories within the TwistedSumo-2005-11-06 directory.

So, I was hoping someone could give me a quickset of instructions to 
unpack the archive, set the PYTHONPATH, and run the sshsimpleclient.py 
script connecting to the localhost.  I'm running python 2.3.5 on Debian 
Sarge.

Thanks,
Brendan.
